Before anything from your property goes to the landfill, we sort for value. Usable furniture, appliances, tools, clothing, and household goods are offered to Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Charlottesville's Avon Street, local community networks, and Central Virginia families in need before anything goes to disposal. In 2026, over 30 households across the region received donated goods at no cost. This is why we started Albemarle Moving and Junk Removal.
The majority of what we haul from every job is donated or recycled. We track this on every single load, not just on the jobs where it is easy.
Furniture, appliances, tools, and household goods from our jobs have gone directly to over 30 local households this year at no cost to them.
We coordinate with Charlottesville's Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Avon Street and local community networks on every job that produces usable goods.
The donate-first sort is part of every job at no additional cost. You pay the same whether items get donated or go to the transfer station.
