From June 2nd through July 9th, we will only be accepting:

  • CLOTHES

  • BOOKS

  • MEDIA (DVDS, CDS, LPS)

In the last 12 months, we’ve accepted over 12,000 donations, weighing an estimated

354,581 POUNDS

We currently have 6,000 cubic feet of donations we need to process. THAT’S LIKE 113 HONDA FITS LOADED WITH 11 DIFFERENT CATEGORIES TO SORT, PRICE, AND GET ON THE FLOOR! ANXIETY!

Maybe you’re going on vacation and can’t keep the stuff in your trunk - we get it! Here are some options to ethically donate your items to be reused and given new life. Consider giving them a call and see what they think of your donation before you go. Some places don’t love corks as much as we do!
