Declutter for Good

Thank you for your interest in clearing out your items to Thrift for Good!

You can de-clutter your items by either dropping off or scheduling a collection:

1.  The easiest way is for you to please drop off in our store Golden Mile Galleria, Building 8 on the Palm Jumeirah (use the lift with the main green podium - we are right there. Google Map)

IN ORDER TO SCHEDULE A COLLECTION, PLEASE:

1. If this is your first time, please SCHEDULE A PICK UP. We collect during the day every Monday. We will get in touch to confirm in advance.
2. That morning, please put the donations outside your door marked with “G” on the outside of the box(es)/bag(s). If you live in a Villa, please put the donations outside your door but inside your unlocked gate.

WHAT DO WE ACCEPT?
Due to storage constraints until markets open back up, we only accept clothing, shoes, bags, fashion accessories, and books. Hangers and boxes are also very valuable to us. If you have other items that are in good condition and high value, please let us know. We will soon be accepting everything.

For children's toys, we recommend Toys with Wings.

For towels and blankets, we recommend animal shelters, such as Animals & Us.

For electronics, we recommend Enviroserve.

For furniture, large appliances and housewares, we recommend Take My Junk for this, although they do not have a charitable purpose.

If you know any resellers that might be interested in storing/selling on our behalf for a commission, please let us know!

WHERE DO WE COLLECT FROM?

We collect in Dubai.

If you are outside of Dubai, you can arrange to send us your items.

WHY DECLUTTER?

Decluttering can bring you a sense of peace and joy, especially when it benefits a good cause. We recommend checking out the KonMari method for this life changing process.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH MY ITEMS?

Please see the image at the bottom of this page. We will start by sorting them into categories and prices and then, based on value and condition, decide what to sell online, in store, at market, in bulk through our partner resellers, or donate on to good causes. To the best of our ability, we repair/upcycle damaged items through our #patched initiative or we recycle through our partners, such as Enviroserve.

We will endeavour to sell your items for the highest possible price online, at markets, events and to resellers.

WE DONATE OUR PROFITS TO Gulf for Good, helping children around the world.

CAN WE DO A GROUP COLLECTION DRIVE?

We welcome group collection drives. Please give us a heads up so we can ensure we have enough storage space and can arrange the proper legal approvals. We will issue you a receipt of estimated value and will raise funds for your chosen charity of choice (requires separate fundraising approval, which we will organise). Get in touch if this is of interest: jen@thriftforgood.org / +971 52 531 0905
