We offer FREE pickup service! We also accept donations in a variety of ways including at our store and have convenient drop-off bins in Nashville, Smyrna, Brentwood, and Franklin. Are you planning a community yard sale or donation drive? We can help you there, too!

When you make a tax-deductible donation to ThriftSmart, your generosity supports our local neighborhoods.  It supports our beneficiary charities, and other locally-based nonprofits. You can make your donations count even more by specifying which community partner your donation to benefits. See the list here. ThriftSmart is a 501c3 organization. We are proud to be included in the www.DonationTown.org directory of charities.
