How to Donate to Resource Depot
Step 1: Prepare Your Donation
Please neatly organize your donation in a box or bag you can leave with us.
If you wish to keep your containers, be prepared to wait for us finish processing your donation.
Acceptance of donations is based on their condition and organization.
Items that are unorganized or in poor condition may not be accepted.
Step 2: Dropping off your Donation
Please neatly organize your donation in a box or bag you can leave with us.
If you wish to keep your containers, be prepared to wait for us finish processing your donation.
Only 1 box/bag from our "We Love List" that you can carry in on your own in one trip? You are welcome to donate this 1 box or bag during business hours without an appointment.
Please note that even for smaller donations, organization within the box is required—random items will not be accepted.
If your Walk-In Donation exceeds 1 box/bag you may be asked to make an appointment to return.
Please park on the street, walk up the ramp with your donation and look for a staff member to assist you.
If you have more than 1 box or bag and/or require staff assistance, you will need to make a donation appointment.
Appointments are available during business hours and secured through our online booking form. We strive to make your donation experience as simple as possible.
Our parking lot is specifically reserved for those with scheduled donation appointments. At the time of your appointment, simply pull up to the loading dock located at the side of our building, ring the doorbell, and a member of our donation staff will assist you with unloading your items.
When booking a donation appointment, if you do not see any available times listed for your desired date, all appointments have been booked for that day. If the following message appears when trying to book an appointment: This date is not available. Try another it means that we are either closed or appointments for the selected date are already full.
We reserve the right to accept or refuse donations based on their condition and organization.
Items that are deemed unorganized or in poor condition may not be accepted.
Why's That?
Each donation we receive must be weighed, inspected, sorted, and processed before it is made available to customers. Preparing your donations and following the drop off guides below helps our small but mighty staff manage the flow of materials we bring in (on average nearly 19,000 pounds each month!)
and allows us the time needed to maintain operations and retain the most value for your donations.
