Donate & Reuse

Before sending an item to the landfill, please considering donating clothing, household goods and other items that remain in usable condition.

Many organizations and individuals reuse, resell or refurbish items that others consider to be trash or junk. Some provide dropoff locations, while others offer pickup services.
