For donations to worthy community causes, to the possibility of turning your gently-worn clothing and household items into cash, here are our favorite local options for keeping things out of the landfill.

If items are stained, soiled, broken, expired, useless, etc... they get thrown away, unless they are recyclable or need appropriate disposal: See Recycling and Disposal Page

Remember, it's deductible, so make a list of what you're donating (and take pics, if you like). If you're our client, we can do this for you.
