The Kinds of Donations That We Don’t Accept

by bgwaybright on June 20, 2010

The donations have been rolling in, which is wonderful! The store is filling up and we’re going to have plenty o’ goods for the grand opening in July…

BUT

We have not been able to accept all the donations. There are certain items that, based on hazards or sanitation or insurance issues we can’t accept. To make things easier Tony Reyes has put together a list of the items that we cannot accept as donations.

Here it is:

  • Hazardous products/waste-paint, oil, etc
  • Recyclables-paper,glass, plastic
  • Guns, knives, bows and arrows, ammunition etc.
  • Gas powered tools and Garden equipment
  • Garage door openers
  • Construction materials
  • Large appliances
  • Plumbing fixtures & water heaters
  • Automotive Parts & equipment
  • Water Filtration systems
  • Hospital Beds, waterbeds & air mattresses
  • Bed pans and porta potties
  • Infant cribs, playpens, car seats, walkers, strollers, high chairs and toys and wheeled toys
  • Mattresses, box springs and bed pillows
  • Sofa Beds and futons
  • Carpeting & Carpet padding
  • Food, drinks and other consumables
  • Unusable furniture

That’s All! Thanks for your support!
