Rather than throwing away your unwanted items, think about donating them for reuse by others.
Let’s reduce items going to landfills and incinerators.
BUY LESS STUFF! REDUCE, REUSE, REPURPOSE.
The following 2024 resources MAY take your unwanted items
Check with ALL sites ahead of time.
- No rips, tears, stains, broken zippers, hopelessly wrinkled, etc.
- ALL clothing should be folded and sorted by age, season, etc.
- Expired food should be thrown out.
