### Send a photo

[Text a couple photos](sms:+15052503804) to (505) 250-3804 with your neighborhood, or use the [request form](https://abqreclaimed.com/#schedule). Under a minute.

### I confirm what I can take

I review every request myself and reply about what is a fit and whether I can make your date, if you have one. Nothing is promised until I confirm.

### Set it out

On the day we agree on, leave small items on the porch or driveway — you don't need to be home for those. Heavy items, appliances and anything inside need someone there to give me access.

### I haul it free

I pick it up at no cost and give it a second life through resale and reuse.

Every PCS ends with the same triage: what ships, what sells, and what has to be gone before the final walkthrough. Send me photos of the third pile.

## Built for the PCS purge

Weight allowances make every extra tool chest, treadmill, patio set, and box of electronics a cost. Selling it all takes weeks you don't have. I'm the middle path: the things with a second life — tools, electronics, gear, bikes, instruments, small appliances, collectibles, quality clothing and boots — come with me free, and I tell you which of the rest the City of Albuquerque or a charity will take. One afternoon, one plan.

*To be clear: I'm a private, one-person Albuquerque business with no affiliation with Kirtland AFB, Sandia, or any relocation office. I pick up at your home or storage unit across Albuquerque (nearby towns case by case).*

**Living in base housing?** I’m a private business and I don’t come on base. If you’re in base housing, stage the resale-worthy pile off base — a storage unit or a friend’s driveway — or [text me](sms:+15052503804) about a drop-off by appointment.

## Typical PCS pile I take

- [Garage tools](https://abqreclaimed.com/used-tool-pickup-albuquerque), workbench gear, yard equipment
- [Gaming and computer gear, TVs, audio](https://abqreclaimed.com/electronics-pickup-albuquerque) — working or not
- [Camping](https://abqreclaimed.com/camping-gear-pickup-albuquerque), hunting, climbing and [sports gear](https://abqreclaimed.com/sporting-goods-pickup-albuquerque); [bikes](https://abqreclaimed.com/bike-pickup-albuquerque)
- Small appliances and kitchen gear
- [Vintage & quality furniture](https://abqreclaimed.com/vintage-furniture-pickup-albuquerque) that won’t make weight — mid-century, antique, New Mexican carved, solid wood, old steel desks and cabinets (photo the whole piece and any maker’s mark; tell me the stairs)
- A washer, dryer or second fridge you’re not shipping — [appliances by request](https://abqreclaimed.com/appliance-removal-albuquerque) (fridges case by case)
- [Quality clothing and shoes](https://abqreclaimed.com/quality-clothing-shoes-pickup-albuquerque) — brand-name outdoor apparel, workwear, good leather boots, vintage and western wear — not worn-out pieces or everyday basics (those go to a charity drop-off)

## How a clear-out works with me

1. **Send photos — wide shots of every room, garage, and closet.** Don't sort first — but open the closets: good boots, coats and labels are worth a photo ([quality clothing & shoes](https://abqreclaimed.com/quality-clothing-shoes-pickup-albuquerque)). I read every request personally.
2. **I reply honestly:** what I can take free (the resale-worthy share), what a charity or the city will take, and what needs a paid hauler. You get a plan, not just a truck.
3. **Pickup by request, around my routes.** I'm one person with a trailer and a forklift; I'll tell you what's realistic for your date rather than overpromise. Drop-off by text is the surest option for smaller loads.
4. **Afterward, a [Reclaim Receipt](https://abqreclaimed.com/reclaim-receipt):** a note telling you where the things actually went.

## Timing

**Need it out of the way by a date?** Movers, a closing, a lease-out, a unit that’s due — text me photos and the date. I come get the good stuff and tell you who takes the rest, and I’ll say honestly whether I can make your date, take part of it, or point you to a crew that can. [Text me the photos and the date](sms:+15052503804).

With orders in hand, two weeks before pack-out is comfortable; I'll be honest if a date is too tight for my routes, and drop-off by text is always the surest option for a carload.

Doing most of it yourself? The [week-by-week moving plan](https://abqreclaimed.com/moving-out-of-albuquerque-guide) works for a PCS too — start a week earlier. Emptying a storage unit before you go? See [storage unit cleanouts](https://abqreclaimed.com/storage-unit-cleanout-albuquerque).

**Straight talk:** Abq Reclaimed is one person, for-profit, and free because I resell what has a second life. I'm not a junk-removal crew and I don't pay cash — if something is genuinely valuable, sell it yourself and keep the money (my [guide](https://abqreclaimed.com/where-to-sell-used-gear-albuquerque) shows where). Pickups are by request and at my discretion — some weeks I can't do any, so text early — and they aren't tax-deductible.

## Common questions

### What do I do with stuff that won't make weight on a PCS out of Albuquerque?

Sell the few valuable pieces yourself. Text photos of the resale-worthy share — tools, electronics working or not, gear, bikes, quality fitness gear — and your pack-out date to (505) 250-3804; I pick that up free, by request, at your home or storage unit. A charity can pick up everyday furniture in good shape, the City's Large Item Pick-Up takes bulky items at the curb (call 311), and paint, fuel and propane go to the Household Hazardous Waste center.

### Are you affiliated with Kirtland AFB or a relocation service?

No. I am a private one-person reuse business in Albuquerque with no affiliation with Kirtland, Sandia, or any relocation office. I pick up at homes and storage units across Albuquerque; I do not enter the base.

### Our report date is in ten days. Can you make it?

Send photos and the date now and I will answer honestly. I run by request around my routes, so I will tell you what I can take by then and what needs a different plan rather than promise and miss.

### Do you pay for anything, like a PCS sale?

No — this is free removal, not a buy service. If something is clearly valuable, sell it yourself and keep the money. I am the free option for the resale-worthy middle that is not worth your last two weeks.

### Is it tax-deductible?

No. Abq Reclaimed is a for-profit business, not a 501(c)(3). You get a Reclaim Receipt showing where your things went.

## Pack-out date coming? Send photos early.

Send a couple photos and I will tell you honestly if it is a fit. Free pickup across Albuquerque, by approval.
