Quick Rules

Only clean, safe, working items. Pack like-with-like and label. Load the car in reverse drop order so unloading is easy. Always ask for a receipt.

1) Choose Location & Hours (10 min)

2) What They Accept (10–15 min)

3) Pre-Sort by Category (15–25 min)

4) Pack & Label (15–20 min)

5) Test & Safety Check (10–15 min)

6) Car Load Order (10–15 min)

7) Paperwork & Receipts (5–10 min)

8) Furniture & Large Items (optional)

9) Hazardous/Restricted Items

Tip: Load the car the night before and park nose-out. Donation day becomes a fast errand on the next outing.
