What we cannot accept
It's tough to say "no thank you" to donations, but sometimes we have to. Generally, we turn down a donation simply because the cost to refurbish, repair, store or transport the item would be more than the item could be sold for at auction.

We cannot accept the following items:
  • Used furniture, clothing or lawn games
  • Used appliances including refrigerators, microwaves, air conditioners, trash compactors, water heaters, boilers, etc.
  • Used clothing of any kind
  • Used electronics of any kind (TVs, stereos, speakers, video tapes, DVDs, computers)

  • Used bicycles (unless they are in excellent condition)
