Murfreesboro is a community that values service, growth, and connection. Whether you’re making space at home, helping a neighbor in need, or finding new ways to give back, donating your used goods is one way to make it happen. At America’s Thrift Store, we provide a clear, simple path for you to do that right here in Murfreesboro.
Your donations support local nonprofits like Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee, promote responsible reuse, and offer affordable goods to families across Tennessee. Giving here isn’t complicated or time-consuming. You bring the items, we take care of the rest, and together we make a meaningful impact.
A Local Donation Center With Community Impact
In Murfreesboro, giving comes naturally. Our donation center reflects that spirit with a process that’s built around your needs and the needs of those we serve. Our address is 4510 Veterans Pkwy, Murfreesboro, TN 37128.
Built To Serve Middle Tennessee
We operate with a clear purpose: to take your donated goods and use them in the community. That starts with offering a reliable and welcoming drop-off point for anyone looking to give.
Whether you’ve got one bag or a truckload, our team handles your donation efficiently so it can start helping people quickly. You’ll never wonder if your effort made a difference; it always does.
Focused On Real Use, Not Just Resale
When you donate with us, you’re helping extend the life of items that still have value. What you no longer need may be exactly what someone else is looking for.
We take pride in maintaining a clean, respectful donation process. Items go directly into inventory or, if not sellable, are recycled through approved partners. That means fewer items are in the landfill and more are in the hands of those who need them.
Connecting Donations To Local Support
Our partnerships with nonprofit organizations throughout Tennessee allow your goods to go even further. Sales revenue supports programs focused on recovery, employment, and community outreach.
Your donations power this cycle of local giving. Every shirt, book, or appliance you drop off helps support life-changing services that matter to people in your area.
What You Can Donate And How To Prepare It
Giving should be helpful, not confusing. Knowing what we can accept and how to prepare your donation ensures that it is processed quickly and responsibly.
Items We’re Glad To Receive
You can donate gently used clothing, shoes, home goods, toys, books, small electronics, and furniture in working condition. If it’s clean, usable, and safe, it likely belongs here.
Our store shelves change daily, thanks to generous donations from people like you. These everyday items become someone else’s opportunity to shop affordably and with dignity.
Items We Cannot Accept
Some things we’re not equipped to handle, such as mattresses, hazardous materials, broken appliances, or items that have been recalled. If you wouldn’t use it or give it to a friend, it probably isn’t suitable for donation.
We work to keep our staff and shoppers safe by following local safety and sanitation standards. If you’re unsure, please check our donation guidelines.
Best Practices For Packing And Dropping Off
Use sturdy bags or boxes to group similar items together. Clothing should be clean and folded. Fragile items should be cushioned, and electronics should be tested before donation.
Bringing well-packed donations helps us sort faster and reduces the risk of damage. This small extra step adds much value to the donation process.
How To Donate In Murfreesboro
We’ve made it easy to donate according to your schedule. You can bring items to our center, schedule a pickup, or use a community drop bin.
Our Murfreesboro donation center accepts drop-offs during all operating hours. Pull into the designated donation area, and a team member will help unload if needed.
You don’t need an appointment. Whether it’s part of your weekend errands or a last-minute decision, our doors are open and ready to accept your contribution.
Request A Pickup
Home pickup may be available for larger donations or multi-item cleanouts. If you qualify, we’ll arrange a time that works with your schedule.
Place your items outside on pickup day. Our team will handle everything from there—there is no need to be home or lift heavy furniture yourself.
Use A Community Donation Bin
You can drop off small donations like clothing or books at convenient locations throughout Murfreesboro. These bins are regularly monitored and maintained.
Please seal items in bags to protect them and avoid leaving anything outside the bin. A quick drop-off today can support someone’s shopping trip tomorrow.
What Happens After You Donate
Donating doesn’t end with the drop-off. Your items are sorted, repurposed, and used to support real needs, keeping your generosity in motion.
Sorting And Shelving
Everything you donate is carefully reviewed. Clean, functional items are placed into inventory, priced affordably, and organized by category in-store.
You make it possible for someone to find what they need, from school uniforms to dinnerware to household furniture, without the financial strain.
Proceeds from our sales go directly to community organizations working on education, housing, addiction recovery, and job readiness.
You may never meet the people you’re helping, but your donation can help provide a hot meal, job training, or safe housing to someone in Murfreesboro or the surrounding areas.
Reducing Local Waste
Every usable item that enters our store is one less item in a landfill. Donating promotes responsible reuse and contributes to a circular economy right in your backyard.
Environmental care starts with small steps. Choosing to donate is one of the most impactful things you can do.
How To Stay Involved
You don’t have to wait for spring cleaning to give again. There are simple, consistent ways to stay involved with your local donation center all year. From setting monthly drop-offs to volunteering your time or organizing a neighborhood drive, small actions can make a big impact on those in need.
Make Giving Part Of Your Routine
Keep a donation box in your home and fill it with items as you go. When it’s full, bring it by. Even a bag every few months makes a difference.
Your steady support helps us serve more people, restock faster, and operate smoothly. When you shop with us after donating, remember to use your rewards program to earn savings.
Organize A Donation Event
If you’re part of a school, workplace, or faith group, hosting a donation drive is a great way to give back. We can help you coordinate drop-off or pickup details.
Community-led drives have a significant impact. They build awareness, gather needed goods, and make donating a shared effort instead of a solo task.
Talk About It
When you share your donation experience with others, you create momentum. Conversations at work, social media posts, or casual mentions can inspire someone else to participate.
We grow through your referrals. Every story shared brings in new donors, new goods, and more support for the programs that count on us.
Let’s Keep Good Going In Murfreesboro
Your donations are a support, an opportunity, and an action. Donating to America’s Thrift Store in Murfreesboro contributes to something bigger than a single transaction.

It doesn’t take much. In the right hands, a few extra clothes, a box of books, or last year’s dishes can go a long way. Stop by when it works for you, and know every item counts.
We’re here, local, and ready to help you make your giving count.
