Furniture is the least recycled household item in the US. Every year over 12 million tons of furniture ends up in landfills.
By distributing gently-used furniture that would otherwise be thrown away, the Mustard Seed has diverted tons of furniture from landfills annually.
How does this work??
We will reach out via email the same business day or within 24 hours. We cannot do same day pickups though we will work quickly to fit you in! We are a very small but big hearted nonprofit, just 5 of us and 2 trucks! Please cancel timely so we do not schedule staff unnecessarily.
Our drivers will call you when they are 15-30 minutes away, please expect a call from 317- 854-2203 or 317-572-5724 (Driver phones). Please do not call these lines as we want them focusing on the job/safety.
There is no way of knowing the exact time they will be there as they have client drop offs in the mornings and donation pickups in the afternoon. You can also request a "porch pickup" if you will be at work! A payment link can be sent to you in advance. We do not send reminders. We will send an email with a date and time and ask for confirmation.
Payment for the service fee can be made in person on the day of pickup via the Zeffy, cash or check.
Thank you in advance for thinking of us when it rehoming your furnishings! We do not travel more than 25 miles from our Fishers location. However, special considerations can be made for a large scale pickup.
If you have any concerns with our staff, please email the ED at darcie@mustardseedindy.org
Pickup Preparation & Liability Notice
As a nonprofit, every minute counts—your preparation helps us serve more families in need. We would love to see staff get in and get out timely. Staff reserves the right to assess damages and will request an additional fee if the items are stained or damaged. Please note that we do offer “junk” removal but that is not our primary task.
Please note: We are not responsible for any damage that may occur while moving donated items. Your understanding is appreciated.
