- [Why do you charge for pickup? Other organizations pick-up for free.](https://furnituresharehouse.org/faq/why-do-you-charge-for-pickup/) - Yes, there are other organizations that pick up your furniture for free, but they are all SELLING your furniture in thrift shops at prices our clients cannot afford.
