Moving Day

Mobile Donation Unit 

Moving to a new home? Looking for ways to declutter your home or office? Support local programs by donating to Goodwill. And now, it's easier than ever!

Goodwill of Western New York parks our Mobile Donation Unit at your home, business, or community event for THREE DAYS at no cost. Fill the trailer with boxes, furniture or other household goods you would like to donate. Goodwill picks up the unit and delivers your donations to a local Goodwill Donation Center to benefit workforce development programs right in your community. This program is currently only available in Erie, Niagara, Genesee, and Wyoming Counties.

To ensure the safety of the Mobile Donation Unit, it must be parked on a flat surface measuring at least 17 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 7 feet high. Please note the mobile donation center will stay stationary throughout the duration of the reservation. 

How To Request The Mobile Donation Unit
