How to donate items.

We appreciate your generosity and support. To ensure we can make the most of your donations, please follow these guidelines.

Quality Matters

All donated items should be clean, gently used, and in good condition. If you would not give it to a friend or family member, it is probably not suitable for donation.

Clothing & Linens

Please donate clothing, shoes, and bedding in separate trash bags with no hangers. Items with stains, excessive wear, or damage cannot be accepted.

Household Items

Household items and electronics should be clean and in working order. Remove dead batteries from toys or electronics before donating.

Garage Sale Leftovers

Garage sale leftovers can be accepted as long as the price stickers are removed.

Drop-Off Etiquette

Never leave donations outside during off-hours. Items left unattended often get damaged, and we have to pay for their disposal.

Boxes & Bags

All donations, except clothing, shoes, and bedding, should be placed in stackable, non-returnable boxes or containers for easier processing.

Questions About a Unique Item?

If you have a unique or unusual item, please contact Local Imports to ask if it can be accepted.
