Un-Acceptable Items

While items don’t need to be in excellent condition, be mindful when deciding if something is in good enough condition to go to a second home.

Our rule of thumb when deciding whether an item is in good enough condition to be donated is to ask yourself whether you would give it to a family member.

As a general rule, do not take the following items to Un-Dumpster Day or to our Charity Partners to donate:

  • Broken items
  • Items with mold and/or mildew
  • Furniture with stains, tears, odors, and/or damage
  • Mattresses, Box Springs, or Bed Pillows
  • Baby Cribs
  • Car Seats
  • In-home Gyms
  • Items containing gasoline or chemicals
  • Washers, Dryers, Refrigerators, Freezers, Dishwashers that are not working or need repair
  • Organs or Pianos
  • Hospital Beds
  • Auto Parts, Tires, or Batteries
  • Hot Water Tanks
  • Safety Recalled Items
  • Clothing with stains, tears, or rips
  • Shoes with the soles worn out
  • Expired food
  • Recalled foods
  • Opened hygiene products or medical supplies
