I have a leather sofa which is old and cracking on the top. But otherwise safe and sturdy. Do you think they will pick up? I live in Pensacola
I just called. They are not gung ho to pick up out here, but said they would come
get the two working appliances…………if someone that repairs and sells wouldn’ t come for them. So, good luck.
Before this new place opened, I had called every ministry in Pensacola I could think of, and none would pick up anything in Walnut Hill. Too far.
i wish thay put one in molino fl
If they don’t offer pickup, I believe the St. Vincent DePaul thrift in Century does. Just give them a call.
How about Walnut Hill pick up???
Will the pickup donated goods on the northend of the county as well?
