What we cannot accept

We are sorry to turn anything away. These are either Health Department rules or things our clients cannot use.

Used household items — sheets, bedding, pillows, towels, linens

Used clothing

Used toys and baby products

Books

Leftover party or catering food

Two exceptions. We can accept untouched, unopened catering trays,
per the Health Department. And we occasionally take furniture,
depending on what our clients need — email us the items and specs first.
