The Everything Shoppes only take quality donations Tue through Sat, 10 am to 3 pm.
Desirable items in excellent, like-new condition that are unstained, free of foul smells, musty basement or attic odor, pet or human hair, or missing or broken parts. We inspect incoming donations to ensure items are safe for customers to purchase and minimize garbage costs.
As you gather donations, be mindful to bring in only items in “excellent” condition (free of stains, dirt, odor, excessive wear, and hair). We refuse items from a musty basement or attic that may harbor mold or mildew.
Due to limited storage space, each shoppe has limits on the number and type of items it accepts. We refuse large amounts or several 30-gallon or contractor bags full of clothes at once, as well as out-of-season holiday decor.
