For a fee, Orange County Goodwill offers a pickup service for residents wishing to donate household items or vehicles. Because of increasing gas prices and the high volume of pickup requests, Goodwill of Orange County has partnered with College Hunks Hauling to remove donated items from anywhere inside a donor's property as well as to remove items that Goodwill cannot accept. In addition, Goodwill of Orange County accepts donations of vehicles, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles and airplanes. Individuals donating items receive a Goodwill receipt and can take a tax deduction on the value of the donation.
