Orono Donation Pickup ~ Maine

LoadUp is unable to provide a completely free donation pickup option in Orono and only offers a fee-based pickup service where service charges are required in order to cover the costs for our time, heavy labor, truck loading, fuel, and the transportation of your items to local charities for drop off. LoadUp is a one-of-a-kind, nationwide service that provides work for independent hauling businesses that work hard to donate and help their community thrive.

We’re able to donate almost any item, big or small, as long as it’s still in good condition and in demand. Charities in your local area accept most items that are clean and still working in order to repurpose them to help those in need. Popular donation items include furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, home decor and clothing. If any items are not accepted for donation, we will do our best to recycle or safely dispose of everything possible in effort to avoid dumping useful items in local landfills.

Yes! When booking an appointment, you can select curbside pickup for a $5 discount. You won’t need to be present for your pickup and you can simply place your items anywhere outside your home that is directly accessible by our trucks. Typical locations include your front yard, outside a garage, in your driveway, or directly by the curb. If your items are heavy, please request assistance with moving to avoid injury. If you physically can’t move the items yourself, or don’t have someone to help you, we recommend scheduling an in-home pickup instead.

LoadUp does not directly provide donation receipts. However, you have the option to request a donation receipt from your Loader, when applicable, and provided a copy of your receipt after successful donation. Since donation is contingent upon location and the condition of your items, we cannot guarantee your item(s) will be accepted.
