Purple Heart Pick Up Service

The items I left for Purple Heart were picked olio on the scheduled day but unfortunately so was my outdoor lamp. The lamp was plugged into a timer. The items for purple heart were bundled with plastic to protect from the rain
Purple Heart did return the lamp 4 days later but unfortunately without the shade. The staff insisted there was no shade and refused to see if it could possibly be in the store.
I will not use this service in the future

I love their pickup service. Reminder calls the day before. I owed the ladies their a huge apology previously. I swore they hadn’t left me a receipt and demanded they send me one in the mail. I ended up finding the one they left after snow melted, now I assume it blew away. Lesson in jumping the gun learned. The drivers are considerate and kind.

Purple Heart does a fantastic job. They call the week before they’re going to be in the neighborhood and also the night before with a reminder. It’s so convenient to do a donation with them. They pick up as promised at your house. No more loading up the car, driving somewhere, unloading and driving home. I saw other reviews that said they don’t show up etc. Well, I’ve been using them for many years and I’ve never had ANY problem with them.

Purple Heart is a nonprofit which helps our vets in a number of different areas. I usually don’t think to call them when I have stuff to donate, but once in a while they call saying they will be in the area collecting donations of clothing and household items. Sometimes we do, and since they pick it up it makes it easy for us to donate our unwanted possessions. When they call, they say who they are, why they are calling, and when they’ll be in the area. They then ask if you have anything to donate (they are not pushy about it). Don’t worry about being home, you just label a bag or box full of donations so they know what to pick up and leave it outside before the time they give you. They’ll get it. They will leave you a receipt too. They sell the items they collect to thrift stores and the profit is used to help our war veterans who have earned the Purple Heart. I also think they take vehicle donations, although we have never had one to dispose of but it might be something you would like to look into.
