Items we can't accept
- Clothing/Linens/Bedding/Drapes
- Why? There are many other organizations that accept clothing donations,
and they do such a good job that there is no reason for us to do the same!
- Mattresses/Box Springs/Water Beds
- Why? By law, before we resell a used mattress/box spring in the state of South
Carolina, we must wash it with a special machine. This machine is expensive,
and would drive up our costs, taking away money to go toward building houses.
- Baby Items/ toys
- Anything that doesn't work/needs a replacement part
- Metal blinds
- Paint, Stain, Thinners, or other Hazardous Materials/Chemicals
- Why? These items are not very popular for resale, and some can be hazardous
just to store. Call Richland County Public Works at (803) 929-6000 for information on how to properly dispose of these items.
- Shower Doors
- Unframed mirrors or glass
- Why? Unframed mirrors or glass have very sharp edges, and are a safety
hazard for the staff and volunteers who have to handle them.
- Appliances over 15 years old
- Why? We have to give a warranty on the appliances we sell in our store, and it's hard to give that guarantee on older appliances.
- Microwaves & dishwashers over 8 years old
- Why? See appliance info above.
- Storm windows/single pane windows
- Computers/fax machines/copy machines
- Swingsets or playground equipment
- Pianos/Organs
- Unframed glass sliding doors
