General Material Donation Guidelines

Donations are accepted during business hours. We also can schedule pickups for very large donations- please inquire for more info reuse@wasteloop.org

Items must be complete, working well, and ready to go out the door with little assembly required. If things need fixing, please bring it to one of our monthly repair cafe’s!

Material acceptance is based on current stock levels, space needs, quality and condition of the material, local demand, and can always change at any time for any reason.
