Is your lost and found taking up too much space? We pick up unclaimed clothing, sunglasses, electronics and other everyday belongings once your organization is allowed to release them. A mixed collection of bags, boxes and loose items is welcome.
Send a short description and your pickup town or ZIP. We review the items and arrangements with you before confirming. Confirmed pickups are free.

Clothing, sunglasses and all kinds of everyday items
We can help with mixed lost-and-found collections from hotels, gyms, offices, community venues and shared residential spaces. Tell us about the whole collection you are ready to release, including:
- Clothing and shoes: jackets, sweatshirts, hats, gloves and other wearable items.
- Accessories: sunglasses, bags, backpacks, umbrellas and similar belongings.
- Everyday items: reusable water bottles, books, toys and sports accessories.
- Electronics: phones, tablets, headphones, chargers and other small devices.
Other items are welcome for review too. An approximate bag or box count is a useful starting point. Mention anything large, damaged or soiled, and let us know if electronics work or are untested. We agree on what we can collect before the visit.
Give owners their chance to claim things first
Arrange pickup only after your organization has completed the required steps to return, report and hold found property, and has authority to give it away. Have the person responsible for your lost and found approve the release. A full box or an expired internal holding period does not, by itself, establish that authority.
Keep items with an open claim separate. Money, IDs, payment cards, keys and personal documents need your organization’s separate handling process. Do not include medicines, weapons, hazardous materials or damaged batteries. See our collection limits.
Belongings left by a former tenant follow a separate process. If you are unsure whether property can be released, check with your responsible manager or local authority before offering it for pickup.
A simple way to clear the space
- Tell us what is ready. Include the main item types, approximate amount, condition and pickup town or ZIP. Photos are optional; keep names, claim records and private information out of them.
- Agree on the pickup. We contact you by email or phone to confirm the items, access and arrival window. Mention stairs, parking or a front-desk handoff.
- Keep the approved items together. Label the bags or boxes for pickup and keep them separate from active lost and found. We record the items collected at the handoff.
We usually work within about 20 driving miles of Colfax and review farther requests individually. Check our pickup area. If your collection fills up regularly, mention that when you contact us so we can discuss future pickups.
Give useful belongings another chance
Pickup saves you a drop-off trip and gives useful items a chance to be used again. We may clean, make practical repairs and resell or rehome suitable items. We cannot promise a new home for every item.
Foothill Electronics Pickup is a private business. A pickup receipt records the handoff; it is not a charitable tax-deduction receipt. For phones and other devices that store information, an authorized person must also approve permanent erasure or storage destruction. Do not send passwords or try to bypass a device lock. Read our pickup terms.
