Schedule a home pickup

Drivers make home pickups between 7am and 5pm. Please pick a day and have your clothes by your front door in clearly labeled plastic bags. In order to help minimize our emissions impact, please only request a pickup when you have 3 or more bags.

Have questions about home pickup service? Read the Home Pickup FAQ.

If you have questions, you can email info@helpsy.co or call 800-244-6350

For re-wear, reuse, and recycling, we accept the following items in any condition for all ages and genders so long as they are clean, dry, and odorless. Everything should be kept dry in a closed, plastic bag. Recycling your clothes shouldn’t be hard, we’re here to help!
