ReUse offers a pick-up service to the surrounding local area. Pick-ups are FREE to residents and businesses within the city limits of Albany, Athens, Hamden, McArthur, Wellston, Jackson, and The Plains, OH. All other area residents and businesses are charged a nominal hauling fee based on their location. This fee ranges from $10-$30.
To schedule a pick-up, call ReUse's Albany facility at 740-698-8200. Please note the following when scheduling a pick-up:
- We can only accept items that are "reusable" and have a resale value. The driver may refuse all or part of your donation based on his experience.
- The truck and driver must have easy access to your items.
- The driver cannot pin-point when, during the day, he will be at your location. If you must be present for the pick-up, please discuss this when you call to schedule your pick-up.
- Donated items should be clearly marked or separated from other nearby items.
- The driver cannot enter your home (garage or porch is O.K. if easily accessible).
- Pick-ups should not be scheduled on your trash collection day. If this is unavoidable, clearly tag your items for "ReUse" and keep them away from your trash.
If you are outside of our free pick-up area, but have items to donate, don't hesitate to contact us. We can arrange special pick-ups based on the value of the donation. Please ask to speak with our Operations Manager to discuss special pick-ups.
