We Understand This Is Personal
Estate cleanouts aren't just about stuff — they're about memories, transitions, and often grief. We approach every pickup with respect and care. There's no rush, no pressure, and no judgment. Take the time you need to sort through things, and we'll be ready when you are.
What Can Raba Thrift Help With?
Raba Thrift Store picks up clothing (all sizes and styles), working electronics, books and media (vinyl records, DVDs, games), housewares (dishes, kitchen items, décor), and vintage or antique items. Furniture is selected items only — tables, chairs, shelves, and nightstands are usually a yes, but send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll confirm each piece before the visit. Everything we take gets a second life in our store and supports the Chilliwack community.
How Do Estate Pickups Work?
1. Contact us by phone or WhatsApp, or use the form below — tell us about the situation and what you have. Photos help most, especially for furniture, which we confirm piece by piece. 2. We call you back within 24 hours and book a pickup at your convenience, 7 days a week. 3. We come to the home and take everything we can accept. 4. Items we can't take — mattresses, box springs, sofas and couches, beds, and hazardous materials — can go through the City of Chilliwack's disposal programs.
Downsizing? We Can Help Too
Moving from a house to a smaller home, condo, or assisted living? We see this often and we're here to help. A free pickup takes the burden off — no hauling, no dump runs, no fees. Your items go to families in the community who need them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle a full home cleanout?
Raba Thrift Store can pick up all accepted items from a full home — clothing, electronics, books, housewares, and vintage items, plus selected furniture we've confirmed from a photo. Mattresses, box springs, sofas and couches, and beds are always a no, so we recommend combining our free pickup with a junk removal service for the remainder.
Do you offer multiple pickup visits?
Yes. If you need time to sort through the home over several days or weeks, we can schedule multiple visits at no cost.
Can you provide a donation receipt?
We can provide a record of items donated for your personal records. Please ask our team when scheduling your pickup.
What areas do you serve for estate cleanouts?
We serve Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sardis, Yarrow, Cultus Lake, Sumas, and Matsqui — 7 days a week.
