DONATION GUIDELINES

To ensure that only saleable items are donated, please do these two things when donating:

• Go through your items carefully at home before bringing them to the donation site. Remove everything that does not meet the guidelines below.

• Leave enough time to review your items with a Sale Volunteer before departing the drop off location. This review will happen in a clearly marked location either in the parking lot, or at the bottom of the driveway. 

We deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making sure donated items follow the guidelines below. Why? Disposing of left-over items on Sunday is a tremendous amount of work for volunteers – almost as much as the sale itself – and expensive for the Marlboro Alliance.

We ACCEPT clean and usable… 

• clothing

• household goods

We can ACCEPT with CONDITIONS…

• Furniture: you must be willing to leave your contact information and agree to collect the item on Sunday after 4 pm if it does not sell.

• children’s games/toys: only in new/excellent condition with ALL the pieces 

• Electronics: less than two years old and fully functional OR antique/special interest (accepted at our discretion.)

• Books:  we love books! But, we CANNOT ACCEPT travel, cookbooks, textbooks, magazines.

• Tools: must be in working condition.

We will NOT ACCEPT:.

• Any item listed above that is broken, damaged, missing pieces, or very dirty since we have no way to clean items before selling.

• magazines, textbooks, travel

• cookbooks older than 2 years

• General use electronics older than 2 years and/or not fully functional . Old electronics that could be considered collectible/antique or of special interest will be accepted at our discretion.

• Strollers, Cribs, Children’s Bed Frames and Mattresses, Highchairs. It can be difficult to find homes for second hand children’s items because of safety and liability concerns. In 2024 the vast majority of these items donated were unclaimed and it took many volunteer hours/days to re-home/dispose of them. We need to be much stricter this year. There are resources online for passing along children’s goods, strollers and car seats included. We encourage you to explore those avenues to donate your items.

• Stuffed Animals. (Sorry!)
