Please consider what you are bringing when cleaning up after your yard/garage sale. Please consider the quality and condition of the items you are donating. If you wouldn't buy them, chances are that neither will our customers. Being selective about your donations will help us save on disposal costs.
Receipts
We always give receipts if requested, for those who itemize their Income Tax Returns. Receipts reflect the nature of your donation, but do not reflect any cash value. That is to be determined by your accountant in accord with IRS regulations.
