Where to Donate Items in Tri-Cities, WA (2026 Guide)

Bybelovedbelongings

One of the hardest parts of an estate sale or moving process isn’t the sale itself—it’s dealing with what’s left over.

After the shoppers have gone, you might still be looking at a garage full of mismatched dishes, a sofa that didn’t sell, or a closet full of linens. If you are handling an estate in the Tri-Cities, you likely don’t want to send usable items to the landfill.

But knowing who takes what can be a headache.

At Beloved Belongings, we handle the full “cleanout” process for our clients, meaning we coordinate donations and disposal so you don’t have to lift a finger. But if you are tackling the cleanout yourself, here is our local guide to the best donation spots in Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland.

1. Best for Furniture & Building Materials: Habitat for Humanity ReStore

If you have large furniture, working appliances, or even leftover renovation materials (like doors, light fixtures, or tools), the ReStore is your best bet.

  • What they take: Sofas (stain-free), dining sets, refrigerators (working), tools, and hardware.
  • What they don’t take: Mattresses, clothing, or broken appliances.
  • Local Tip: This is one of the few places that may offer pickup services for large items if you schedule in advance.
  • Location: Kennewick (near the Wye).

2. Best for Clothing & General Household: Tri-City Union Gospel Mission

The UGM in Pasco does incredible work for our local homeless community. Donating here ensures your items go directly to people in crisis right here in the Tri-Cities.

  • What they take: Men’s and women’s clothing (especially winter coats/gear), shoes, blankets, and small hygiene items.
  • Local Tip: They have specific urgent needs lists on their website (often socks and underwear). If you are clearing out a pantry, they also accept non-perishable food donations for their shelter kitchen.
  • Location: Pasco (near downtown).

3. The “We Pick Up” Option: Community Thrift

Community Thrift is a fantastic local resource with locations in both Kennewick and Richland. They support various local non-profits and are known for being very organized.

  • Why we love them: They offer a donation pickup service for larger loads. If you have a truckload of boxes and furniture, this can save you multiple trips.
  • What they take: Furniture, electronics, books, housewares, and clothing.
  • Locations: Wellsian Way (Richland) and Edison St (Kennewick).

4. Best for Old Towels & Blankets: Benton-Franklin Humane Society

Have old towels that are too stained for a thrift store but too good for the trash? Don’t throw them away!

  • What they take: Bath towels, hand towels, and fleece blankets.
  • Why: Animal shelters go through laundry constantly. These items are used to keep kennels soft and warm for dogs and cats.
  • Note: They typically do not accept pillows, sheets, or comforters (the stuffing is a choking hazard for dogs).
  • Location: Kennewick (off 10th Ave).

5. For Quick Drop-Offs: Goodwill Attended Donation Centers

If you just have a trunk full of mixed bags (clothes, books, knick-knacks) and want a fast drop-off, Goodwill has “Attended Donation Centers” (ADCs) scattered across the Tri-Cities.

  • Locations: Southridge (Kennewick), West Richland (Kennedy Rd), and Pasco (Court St).
  • Tip: These are drop-off points only, not stores, which makes the line move much faster than the main store locations.

The “Zero-Stress” Option

Driving around the Tri-Cities to four different charities while trying to empty a house is exhausting.

When you hire Beloved Belongings for your estate sale, we handle the leftovers for you.

  • We identify valuable items for sale.
  • We coordinate the donation of unsold goods to the charities listed above.
  • We arrange for the ethical disposal of true trash.
  • You get a “broom clean” house without making a single dump run.
