How to Donate
Before you drop off your items, please check our handy list below of what donations we do and do not accept. Please bring all donations to the back door of 6936 68 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6B 3C5 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10AM–4PM.
Please do not leave your items outside our donation bay when donation hours are closed. We cannot use them if they have been left outside.
Donation Guidelines
First and foremost, please see our donation drop-down lists below and make sure you are only donating items accepted by More Than a Fad.
✓ We do not accept anything broken, soiled, stained or torn. Items must be in great working condition.
✓ Please wash your clothing before donating it! No pet hair, dirty garments, etc. We do not have the means to wash donated clothes in our warehouse.
✓ Please pre-sort your items.
For safety and space reasons, there are some items we cannot accept. These guidelines help keep our team safe and follow government guidelines. Since our warehouse is limited in space, we cannot take in oversized items as we don’t have the room to store them properly.
Pick-Ups
Pick-ups are free of charge within city limits. Anything outside of city limits (St. Albert, Leduc, Fort Sask, Spruce Grove, etc.) will be subject to a $100.00 pick-up fee.
We only do pick-ups for furniture that is in excellent condition (no stains, rips or odours). No housewares or clothes items unless approved by the manager.
Our volunteers will not lift up or down stairs or disassemble furniture.
The More Than a Fad trucking team has the right to refuse any item that doesn’t meet our donation guidelines.
Call the store at (780) 436-8662 or email us to arrange your pick-up.
