WHAT WE CAN'T TAKE:
We regret that we can't take items that need to be repaired, or those we are unable to resell due to state or federal laws. We are a charitable organization and don't have the resources to transport these items to other recycling organizations or to landfill, but we would like to assist you in finding the appropriate place to take them. We suggest that you also contact your local government offices for additional ideas and visit our page on Alternate Recycling sites if you need to dispose of any of the following items.
