65%+ donated to Habitat ReStore or Central Virginia families. Metals recycled. Electronics to certified e-waste. The rest to Ivy MUC — never illegal dumping. Your junk helps people.
The Donate-First Process — Every Load, Every Job
When Albemarle Moving's truck leaves your Charlottesville property, every item gets sorted before disposal. This is not optional, not an upsell — it's how we operate on every single job. Here's the exact process:
On-site sorting during loading
As our crew loads your items, they assess each piece: usable furniture, working appliances, household goods in good condition are flagged for donation before they touch the truck.
Route 1: Habitat for Humanity ReStore
Furniture, appliances, and building materials in good condition go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1221 Harris Street, Charlottesville. ReStore sells these items and uses proceeds to build affordable housing in our community.
Route 2: Direct to families in need
Some items go directly to Central Virginia families who need them — furniture, appliances, clothing, household goods. In 2025, Albemarle Moving helped 30+ families this way.
Route 3: Recycling streams
Metals go to scrap recyclers. Electronics go to certified e-waste facilities (required by law — electronics can't go to standard landfills). Appliances with refrigerant go to licensed disposal.
Route 4: Ivy Materials Utilization Center
What genuinely can't be donated or recycled goes to the Ivy MUC at 4576 Dick Woods Road — Charlottesville's waste facility, which itself has extensive recycling programs. Never illegal roadside dumping.
Albemarle Moving donated 1,000+ items and helped 30+ Central Virginia families in 2025. We route usable goods to Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1221 Harris Street and directly to families in need. 65%+ of every load stays out of the landfill.
(1) Habitat ReStore — 1221 Harris St, (2) directly to Central Virginia families, (3) scrap/e-waste recyclers, (4) Ivy MUC for remainder. Never illegal dumping.
