Our goal is to generate funding for community projects, and special projects at local non-profits. We aim to build things everyone can utilize such as splash parks, and other facilities.
3WHERE CAN I DONATE?
You can download our mobile application or call to schedule a donation pickup. If someone is hosting a mobile donation drive near you, or you see our trailer open you are more than welcome to drop your donations off.
You can also drop off donations at our store located at 303 Wellsian Way in Richland right next to Harbor Freight. We are open every day from 9AM - 7PM.
1WHAT ITEMS ARE NOT ACCEPTED?
We accept the majority of items out there. As long as your items are gently used and in resalable condition we will take them.
We cannot take garbage, chemicals, or other hazardous products due to the high cost of disposal and danger to our employees. We take a very limited amount of furniture due to space constraints as well, although we're hoping to change that in the future.
2WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ITEMS I DONATE?
Items are sorted, priced, and sold. If an item does not sell it is stored and bundled to be sold in bulk to recyclers all around the world. We try to eliminate as much waste as possible. Occasionally some specialty items may be donated to certain causes such as cold weather jackets for people in need.
3WHY SHOULD I DONATE?
Many donation driven services seek to help a specific group of people. We aim to serve as many people as possible through community projects that can hopefully benefit a large percentage of the local populous. Our goal is to generate enough funding to consistently build cool projects locally such as splash parks, and other facilities that everyone can utilize free of charge.
