What We Accept

We support job training through the sale of donated goods. That’s why it is so important that the items we accept be in good condition and saleable as donated. Any item we take and cannot sell, either in our store or on the salvage market, we have to transport to the landfill. There, we pay the same fees as everyone else.

Items we always need: Clothing, household textiles of all kinds, housewares, jewelry, furniture, lamps, kitchenware, antiques, bicycles, shoes, small appliances, china, glassware, electronic equipment in good condition, knick knacks, linens, sporting equipment, cars and boats.

Items we cannot accept: Mattresses and bedding, older tv's, (more than five years old). Furniture that needs repair or reupholstery, built-in appliances, plumbing fixtures, used building materials, water soaked or stained items, broken appliances, magazines, chemicals or paint.

We reserve the right to refuse donations that we cannot sell. This is up to the employee accepting the donation. No large pieces of furniture or large appliances are accepted at donation trailers. Please call our free pick up service.
