Emmaüs Défi: collecte à domicile et dons

Free home collection across Paris of furniture, working appliances, clothes, books and household things, or drop off at Riquet. They ask for seven to ten days' notice.

Right for you if

  • Furniture and appliances in good condition, when you can plan a week or two ahead.
  • It has to cost nothing.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
  • You can get it there under your own steam.
  • You would rather it was used again than buried.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need it gone today.
  • It is broken, dirty or missing parts.
  • It is more than a household quantity.
  • It is business waste.

Verification

Checked against a published source

That means we read a published source and it said this. It does not mean we watched them do it, or followed the material afterwards, that is a separate, deeper check this has not been through. How we check →

Why use it

A thing that still works never becomes waste, and Emmaüs Défi is a work-integration organisation, so the collection does two jobs. Furniture must be sound. They are specific about that.

Good for

  • furniture
  • appliances
  • electronics
  • clothes
  • textiles
  • books
  • toys
  • other items

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

The Responsible Index, in full

Not a review score. 14 observable signals, each met only where the operator's own pages state it, and each linking to the page it was read from. Blanks are gaps in what they publish, not accusations. How the Index works →

    En outre, nous veillons à ne rien gaspiller et à donner une seconde vie à vos dons. Les objets en mauvais état sont orientés vers des partenaires d’Emmaüs Défi pour être distribués lors de maraudes auprès de personnes vivant à la rue ou bien recyclés si besoin.

14 signals checked against 2 pages on 18 August 2026. The Index measures what an operator publishes about itself. It cannot be bought, verification does not raise it, and it never touches the order Spots are listed in.

Where donated things land

The organisations this operator names. The linked ones have profiles here; the rest are named on their pages and not yet checked by us.

What happens to it

  • Donated to an organisation that will use it
  • Put back into use

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
