My experience is the complete opposite. In the Boston area, three or four different charities have regular pickup routes. Tell them you have stuff, and they'll tell you what day they'll be in the neighborhood. I haven't lived in Seattle as long, but I've already found two or three organizations that do the same.

Charities can be picky, though. Often, they will be reselling the donation at their thrift shop, so they may reject items that are torn or stained.
