Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit accepts gently used furniture and mattresses for reuse by families and individuals in need. The organization serves Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties and offers free porch or garage pickup within its service area, with a fee-based in-home pickup option. Donation-ready furniture should be clean, structurally sound, free of major stains, tears, odors, pet damage and other conditions that would prevent immediate placement in a home.

This is a particularly useful estate resource for larger furnishings that can be reused rather than discarded. The organization asks donors to submit items for review and notes that pickup is not scheduled until staff confirm the donation. Executors should review current accepted-item guidance before arranging a load or pickup. Save a trip! Call Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
