BIG NEWS: Share At Door Step has landed in America!
It started with one question in India: why is giving away things you no longer need so hard? Years later, that question has taken us to Singapore, across five cities in the UK, and now to our fourth country. Share At Door Step is officially live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
From San Francisco to San Jose, Fremont to the Peninsula and South Bay, Bay Area homes can now book a doorstep donation pickup for their preloved items. You pick a slot. We collect from your door. Your items go to local organisations that can use them.
Clearing out your closet is now as easy as answering the door.
Why the Bay Area?
The Bay Area runs on convenience. Groceries arrive in an hour, rides arrive in minutes, and almost anything can be booked from a phone. Donating is the exception.
For most people, giving away preloved goods still means:
- Finding a place that will take your items – and checking what they accept before you go.
- Loading up the car and driving across town – in a region where a short drive can take an hour.
- Working around limited drop-off hours – which rarely match a working week.
So the bags sit in the garage. The closet stays full. And items that could be used again sit unused for months.
Making it easy to pass things on is where we can help – the same problem we have been solving in India, Singapore and the UK.
How to Book a Doorstep Donation Pickup in the Bay Area
It takes a couple of minutes:
- Book online – Visit us.shareatdoorstep.com.
- Pick a slot – Enter your address and choose a pickup time that works for you.
- Hand it over – Add your details, pay, and your pickup is booked. Convenience fee for the pickup option starts from $24.99.
Once your pickup is done, we let you know which organisation received your items.
What Can You Donate?
- Clothes and shoes – for adults and kids
- Books – fiction, non-fiction, children’s books and textbooks
- Toys – in good, working condition
- Stationery – unused notebooks, pens and school supplies
One simple rule: if you would happily give it to a friend, it is ready to donate.
Our Journey So Far
Share At Door Step began in India, where we saw how hard donating could be: few drop-off points, long travel times and heavy bags across crowded cities. We made it as simple as booking a doorstep pickup.
Singapore came next, with a community that wanted to declutter with purpose. Then the UK – first London, and now Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Along the way, 350+ companies across India and Singapore have run donation drives with us.
Every new country has taught us the same thing. People want to give. They just need it to be easy.
What’s Next in the US
We are starting with the Bay Area and building city by city, working with local organisations so that items reach people and places that need them. Our aim is the one we started with: make passing on what you don’t need as easy as ordering a takeaway, until it becomes a habit.
This is day one in America. There is a lot more to come.
