There are items we cannot sell due to health and liability reasons. These include matresses, bed and body pillows, bike and motorcycle helmets, carseats, baby furniture (cribs, high chairs, etc) large or upholstered furniture (no place to store where our resident and elusive tomcats won’t find and spray.)

The following take money from our precious feline friends only because they do not sell causing dump fees.

Electronics: by the time they are sold, they are almost outdated already. TVs; computers and their components like printers, monitors and keyboards; stereo equipment.

Used home repair and remodel items such as light fixtures, drawer and cupboard pulls, plumbing pieces, bathroom fans, etc.

Sadly china doesn’t sell anymore. Most families choose dishes based on durability and ease of use. Few china sets can go in the microwave or dishwasher, let alone both. Consider passing on these family keepsakes to antique stores.

Our most challenging struggle is our donators wanting to drop off items that “could be repaired or are missing a part.” We pride ourself on plugging in every item with a cord to make sure it lights up, heats up, turns, etc. So please find the lid to that cute cat food cannister or pass those incomplete items along to someone else and save us the dump fees!

Dump fees take money from supporting the kitties.
