I have heard from others that Salvation Army will (a) come into a home and remove large items but also that SA will (b) not enter a home to remove large items.

I've used a company that provides cleanup and cleanout services for insurers, but also contracts on its own.  They were good, did an outstanding cleanup, but needed to be worked with closely as when I trusted them after giving instructions, I found that one worker didn't tell the other and items that shouldn't have been removed were.  

You'll have to find local places yourself, but you can try online searching for "home cleanout services" or "moving companies".   Then research their backgrounds before you call and get quotes.   And make sure to get a copy of their liability coverages information.

Are you moving everything?  If not, and what you're leaving has value, you might be able to donate it to a charity, other than SA.  I found 2 trade schools interested in my father's shop tools and steel.  They both taught woodworking, but one focused on metallurgy and was also interested in the sheet steel.

You might want to do a quick analysis of what you want to take and what can be discarded, to determine if any of it could be donated.    If you do donate, ask if the charity is a 501(c)(3), and if so you should get a slip acknowledging the donation, to use in filing your taxes (although you'd probably need to donate a lot of stuff.)

We r from all over the US and other countries. There is no one we can recommend where you live. There must be moving companies near you. Do you have family? Hire a UHaul and hire a couple of guys to help. Do u belong to a Church? As the congregation. I was lucky that the young man that mowed Moms lawn had a truck and was able to help me a couple of times.

Marden, click on the following link, scroll to the bottom of the page and e-mail the Admins to remove your personal information.  As CXMoody advises, it's NOT SAFE.

By posting these addresses, you open your existing home to theft or break-in, and your new home to untold potential by either thieves, or others with nefarious intent.

You should take extra precautions now that you've posted this information, especially if you get volunteer calls to help you move.  They could be thieves, or scammer, or worse yet.

As to your question, for assistance with large items, you could call one of the "junk removal" companies, but vet them carefully.  One well known one was only interested in the items that could be resold; I didn't realize this until after they had left.   

The only one I'd hire now is a Veteran owned removal service.   They're reliable, competent, flexible and more qualified than the other 2 I've had as well as the others I've interviewed but never hired.

Whoever you hire, ask for a copy of their liability coverage to ensure that they in fact do have commercial coverage.   I encountered a number of people who don't, yet pretend that they do.

If you plan to not move these accumulated items, perhaps you might want to contact a local auctioneer. They will remove your items and auction them off. You will get some money out of it.
