Giving New Life to What We Leave Behind

“Healing Through Hauls” is a national charity initiative by TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK®, held annually from October through December. This seasonal campaign transforms everyday junk removal into a powerful act of giving — offering customers a convenient way to donate new or gently used household items directly through their junk removal service.

Every haul has the potential to help. Instead of letting usable items go to waste, customers can choose to have them donated to local charities, shelters, and community organizations in their area. From furniture that can make a family’s house feel like home, to winter clothing that keeps someone warm, each item plays a part in strengthening the communities TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK® serves nationwide.

But Healing Through Hauls isn’t just about what’s given — it’s about the people behind it. The campaign encourages volunteering, local partnerships, and acts of kindness that remind us how small gestures can make a big difference. Whether through a simple donation or lending a hand at a community event, every contribution helps bring comfort, stability, and hope to those in need.

Together, we’re proving that every haul can heal — one truckload, one item, one neighbor at a time.

The Power of Your Donation

  • Direct Community Impact: Your donated items provide essential support to individuals and families in need, helping them furnish homes, access affordable clothing, or receive critical supplies through local shelters, veteran services, and other community programs.  
  • Giving a Second Life: Donating extends the lifespan of useful items, ensuring they continue to serve a purpose rather than being discarded and going to a landfill.  
  • Convenience & Ease: With "Healing Through Hauls," you can declutter your home and give back to your community in one simple, efficient step – we handle the pickup!  

Environmental Benefits

Healing through hauls
  • Reducing Landfill Waste: The U.S. generated approximately 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste in 2024, with about 50% of it ending up in landfills. By donating, you're directly diverting valuable items from landfills.  
  • Conserving Natural Resources: Reusing items reduces the demand for new production, which in turn saves valuable natural resources like wood, metals, and water.     
  • Lowering Carbon Footprint: Manufacturing new goods requires significant energy and generates greenhouse gas emissions. Donating and reusing helps reduce this environmental impact. For example, a wooden chair can take up to 13 years to decompose in a landfill, while sofas and mattresses can take 60-120 years.  

Transportation to Charities  

  • TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK provides the transportation of the sorted donated items directly from its facilities to the local partner charities.
