Garage sales can take more time and effort than they are worth, and clothing doesn’t sell that well at garage sales. If you itemize your taxes, you’ll probably benefit more by donating clothing and claiming the donation on your taxes, than if you would try to sell it.
Uber and Goodwill have partnered to make your spring closet cleaning easy on Saturday, May 2. Clean out your closets and bag up any clothing that you wish to get rid of. Open the Uber app on your smartphone between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., and request “GIVE” at the bottom on the screen.
Once your connected with a driver, an SUV will arrive to pick up your items for FREE and will drop them off at Goodwill. #UberSpringCleaning will be in high demand so please be patient, and try again if you aren’t connected right away. Clothing must be bagged and you must bring the bag out for pickup, as drivers cannot leave vehicles unattended.
Those who donate will receive a tax receipt by email the following week.
