Where To Get Rid of Your Old Stuff

Thrift Stores

Tried-and-true thrift stores like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, Arc and the Humane Society are great places to donate lots of household items, with the proceeds supporting employment and community programs. For safety reasons, many won’t accept some electrical items, car seats, mattresses, chemicals and, of course, weapons.

Donation etiquette dictates items should be clean, laundered and in reusable condition. If possible, label the bag or box with its contents, and don’t inundate organizations with items they don’t typically take.
