Keep donation boxes clothing-only
Bag your clothes and shoes so they fit inside the container. Do not put glassware, kitchen goods or furniture inside or around a clothing box. A mixed house clear-out needs separate receiving arrangements.
For a larger clear-out, use a house cleanout plan to separate clothing donations from furniture and other items.

Use a store for a broader donation
The council lists local stores where staff can receive eligible clothing and other goods during business hours. Review the current list and ask about larger quantities. Donated items support assistance programs through direct distribution or resale.

When Dropcurb helps
When your Pittsburgh closet clear-out leaves accepted bags that need removal, Dropcurb collects them outside and accessible. Bag clothing and bedding, count each filled bag, and send a photo for oversized bags. Donate wearable items directly to your chosen organization first; standard Dropcurb pickup does not promise donation or a particular recycling outcome.
