What donated items are not accepted?
What donated items are not accepted?
What we do take needs to fit in our limited area and be of interest to our shoppers so it doesn't stay there long!
Ask yourself these questions: Is it clean? Is it smelly or moldy, or has it been stored outside? Is it safe? Does it contain toxic materials or have sharp edges? Would it be more appropriate for another thrift or reuse outlet (e.g. clothing, furniture, building materials)? Is it a personal care or used medical item? Is it culturally or racially insensitive?
Here's a short list of other possible places for those items we don't take. If you still are unsure, please email artresourcenter@gmail.com.
