Moving or clearing out? Free Albuquerque pickup for tools, electronics, gear & the good stuff.

I will, for the resale-worthy share: tools, electronics (working or not), camping gear, bikes, instruments, appliances, scrap metal, vintage and collectibles, printing presses and flat files, old lighting and door hardware, and vintage or quality furniture. Text a photo to (505) 250-3804. For ordinary furniture, mattresses and trash I tell you exactly who takes the rest. Pickup is by request, at my discretion.

Tell me the date in your first text. I read and reply to every request myself; pickups run by request around my routes, so I don’t promise dates — I’ll say honestly whether I can make yours, take part of it, or point you to a crew that can. The earlier the photos, the better the odds. Just a box or two? Drop-off by appointment is the surer route.

Resale-worthy goods first: tools (hand, power and yard), electronics and e-waste (working or not), camping and outdoor gear, bikes, sporting goods, musical instruments, appliances (washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters, swamp coolers; fridges and freezers case by case), scrap metal, vintage and collectibles, printing presses and flat files, old lighting and door hardware, and architectural salvage that’s already out. Vintage and quality furniture too: mid-century modern, antique, New Mexican and Southwestern carved pieces, mission and solid wood, retro kitchen sets and vintage steel office and shop furniture — send a photo of the whole piece and any maker’s mark. Quality clothing and shoes too, in good, resellable condition: brand-name, designer, outdoor, workwear, vintage and western, and good leather boots. Send a photo and I'll confirm what I can take.

Yes, quality clothing and shoes in good, resellable condition: brand-name and designer labels, outdoor and technical apparel (Patagonia, Arc'teryx, The North Face, Burton, KUHL), workwear (Carhartt, Filson), vintage and western wear (pearl-snap shirts, vintage denim, band tees, old team jackets and caps), quality leather boots and shoes (cowboy boots, work boots, Red Wing, Danner, Frye, Lucchese), brand-name athletic shoes in good shape, and vintage wool blankets. Send a photo of the labels and the soles (what sells). I don't take worn-out, stained or torn pieces, underwear and socks, everyday basics, linens, towels, pet bedding or rags, and I don't do textile recycling — everyday clothes are best dropped at a charity (here's where).

No fee. I'm a reseller: I make my money reselling what has a second life and reclaiming the metal, so the pickup rides free. Pickups are by request, at my discretion, and not tax-deductible.

No. I take the resale-worthy share free and tell you exactly who takes the rest.

Tools, electronics, gear, instruments, working appliances and quality clothing and shoes are cleaned up and resold or rehomed so they get a real second life. Metal from dead appliances and equipment is reclaimed and recycled. Anything else I can't resell is routed to the best reuse and recycling I can find. The goal: a second life for every item I can, and as little as possible to the landfill.

Not for small items on the porch or driveway; heavy items, appliances and anything inside need someone there to give me access. I confirm every pickup before I come, so nothing shows up unannounced.

No — I'm a local reuse business, not a registered 501(c)(3), so pickups aren't tax-deductible. Here's the honest trade: a charity hands you a receipt for your taxes; I hand you a Reclaim Receipt — a personal note telling you where your stuff went. If a tax write-off is the priority, a registered charity is the better fit — no hard feelings.

Yes. If you'd rather not wait on a route, we can arrange a free drop-off by appointment — just text me at (505) 250-3804 and we'll set up a time and place.
