Can I Drop Large Items Off At The Store?
Unfortunately our store is not set up to receive large-scale donations without any pre-planning. We need to inspect larger items and we prefer to pick them up, so please schedule a pickup instead! We may refer you to another organization if we cannot take items you are dropping off.
I Have Items For Haul. Can You Help?
Let’s be honest… some donated items just will not sell, especially if they have excessive damage or are simply unusable, and it costs money to dispose of items that cannot be used or sold. We pride ourselves in ethical and responsible disposal.
Please remember to review our Donation Acceptance Policy to see what we will and will not accept before you schedule a pick-up or make plans to drop off your donation to ensure we do not need to dispose of any items.
- If you do have items that need to be hauled/disposed: Please email us at ThriftShop@thebeaconhouse.org to let us know what you have, along with pictures of the item(s), and we will provide you with a quote for hauling/disposal.
- If you have a massive clean out with multiple items that need to be hauled/disposed: Email us with as many details as possible, so we can discuss it. We want to help you and provide you with options – if possible – as best we can!
