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 style "deep back" television sets, (if the back
of the tv is deeper than the screen is wide-it is too big for us
to accept). 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.
