Arc Pickup is a household and furniture donation pickup service operating in the Nashville area of Tennessee. The service offers doorstep collection of gently used items, with proceeds supporting Arc organizations. The website states that “Arc Pickup funds stay in TN” and that the service supports the work of arcdc.org and thearctn.org. It is designed to make donating convenient, allowing residents to clear out usable household goods and furniture while benefiting community organizations that serve people with disabilities.
Services
Arc Pickup provides scheduled, doorstep collection of donated household items and furniture. Key elements of how the service works, as described on the site, include:
- Donors leave items outside where they can be found, placed “in a bag, box, or tied bundle and marked ‘Arc’.”
- Pickups happen “rain or shine,” and the donor does not need to be present.
- Collection is from the doorstep or ground level only. The company states, “We do not go inside homes or to the back of homes,” and notes that furniture must be ground-level accessible.
- Stated pickup hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- The service also supports community fundraisers: “Hosting a yard sale at your church, school, or organization? Call the Arc to arrange a pick-up.”

Location & Contact
Arc Pickup serves the Nashville area of Tennessee, with coverage that is zip-code dependent; donors outside the service zones may receive a notice that “your address is not within our Pickup area.” The website lists phone numbers of (888) 722-2402 and (615) 248-4112 and notes that an email address is available on the site.

Additional Information
Donations through Arc Pickup are tax-deductible. The company states that it leaves “a tax deductible receipt that is signed” and advises donors to “declare a fair market value to your items for your taxes,” noting that donations are “tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed under law” and that IRS Form 8283 applies to donations valued at $500 or more. To cancel or reschedule a pickup, the site directs donors to “call our office” or email, and it emphasizes flexible cancellation as part of making the process simple. Pickups are not scheduled on major holidays, specifically New Year, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The service is structured so that donors can contribute without needing to be home: items are left outside, clearly marked for Arc, and collected during the stated pickup window regardless of weather. Because collection is limited to ground-level, doorstep access, the company asks that furniture and other large items be placed where staff can reach them without entering a home or going to the rear of a property. The website’s navigation includes Home, an About Us page, and an FAQ, along with links to the affiliated organizations arcdc.org and thearctn.org and a Facebook page.
