Published June 12, 2026 · 5 min read

Before you toss that old couch or dresser, it might be worth donating. Columbus has several great organizations that accept used furniture — and your donation could go directly to a family in need. Here's a complete guide to where you can donate furniture in Columbus OH, plus what to do when your pieces don't qualify for donation.

Best Places to Donate Furniture in Columbus OH

Furniture Bank of Central Ohio

One of the best options in Columbus. The Furniture Bank accepts gently used furniture and household items and distributes them to families transitioning out of homelessness or poverty. They offer free pickup for qualifying donations. Visit furniturebank.org or call to schedule.

Habitat for Humanity ReStore Columbus

Habitat ReStore accepts furniture, appliances, and home goods in good condition. Items are sold in their thrift store and proceeds fund Habitat home-building projects. Located at multiple Columbus area locations. Drop-off available during store hours.

Goodwill Columbus

Goodwill accepts smaller furniture items at drop-off locations throughout Columbus. Note: they do not accept large sectionals, mattresses, or heavily worn pieces. Check their website for current accepted items and locations.

St. Vincent de Paul Columbus

What Furniture Can You Donate in Columbus?

Most donation centers accept sofas, chairs, tables, dressers, bed frames, bookshelves, and desks in good condition. They typically do NOT accept mattresses, items with tears, stains, or significant damage, broken furniture, or items with strong odors. Always call ahead to confirm.

What If Your Furniture Doesn't Qualify for Donation?

Not every piece makes the cut. If your furniture is too worn, damaged, or just not something donation centers will take — Columbus Junk Removal Co. will haul it away for you. We handle the heavy lifting, dispose of it responsibly, and can often be there same day.

When Is Junk Removal the Better Option?

Junk removal makes more sense than donation when your furniture is damaged or heavily worn, you have multiple large pieces to move, you need it gone fast and can't wait for a donation pickup, or the donation center won't accept your items. Columbus Junk Removal Co. serves all of Columbus and surrounding areas with same-day and next-day service.
