NEW YORK, NY — If you're looking to avoid the downpour this week and get started on your spring cleaning, Uber might be able to help you out: The ride-sharing company will pick up your donations for free on Saturday and bring them to Goodwill.

Clothing and other household items that have been bagged are eligible for pickup. You just have to request a donation pickup via your Uber app. The promotion will last from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday.
