What We Pick-Up
What We Pick-Up
BGC Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton & Area is truly grateful for the generous clothing and household donations we receive.
We ask that donors follow a few simple rules.
Rules for Donations we Pick-Up:
- All items must be placed in a bag (any kind of bag will work) or box labeled “BB.”
- Loose items and open boxes/bags pose a safety hazard for our drivers, so tie bags up and tape boxes shut.
- Bags and boxes that are not labeled “BB," or are not sealed will not be picked up; there are many incoming boxes from Amazon and other online shopping sites often placed near or on top of donations, and we do not want to make a mistake, so please mark each bag and box.
- This ensures a contactless pickup for both our drivers and donors and that nothing is picked up by accident.
- Please place your donations outside of your home before 7:30 A.M. on your scheduled pick-up date.
- Items cannot be soiled, torn, or unsafe.
- Items must be suitable for resale.
