Incoming Donations:

Please bring donations inside through the North facing double doors during regular hours of operation. Our development agreement with the city requires fencing with the gates to be closed and locked outside of regular hours of operation. Please do not leave items outside of the fence as that is city property and you could be prosecuted under the city anti dumping bylaw.

Donations not Accepted:

Basically anything the government does not want you to be selling at a garage sale.

Mattresses and box springs (Public Health regulations), Sofas (No room!), microwave ovens (We have no means of safety testing them.), TV's (We've just had too much junk!), Large furniture items (Require the manager's approval), and hazardous materials e.g. white gas. The recycling centre across from the bottle depot on Diamond avenue will take this stuff.
