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

DONATIONS: My preferred places to support are where goods stay in the community, thus I tend to NOT drop off at Salvation Army or Goodwill.

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.

Greenwood Wildlife Center Thrift Shop (Boulder): 3600 Arapahoe, downstairs. You get a coupon for 25% off one item for each bag you drop off. Look for their last-day-of-the-month half-off everything sales!

Deacon's Closet (Boulder): They accept clothing donations for Bridge House, which provides a safe, supportive community for Boulder’s homeless and working poor. At the First Presbyterian Church at 15^th and Walnut. Please leave inside the west entrance near the custodian’s office. For more information about donations to Deacons Closet contact missions@fpcboulder.org  or call 303-402-6427.

Sister Carmen Thrift Store/Community Center (Lafayette): Proceeds generated from sales directly support SCCC’s programs to help families in crisis. At 701 Baseline Rd, Lafayette.
