Drop-off
Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at 4210 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Ask for Sam. Do not leave things on the porch; the last time someone did, it rained and we got a very sad box of books. If you have something large, email first and we will tell you whether we can take it and where to put it.
What we cannot take
- Cribs, car seats, or any child-safety equipment. We cannot certify them and we will not guess.
- Mattresses, upholstered furniture with tears, or anything that has been in a garage with pets.
- Chemicals, paint, solvents, or anything with a hazard label.
- Old computers that do not power on. We love dead laptops, but we cannot store a hundred of them.
- Encyclopedias, textbooks, and Reader's Digest condensations. The librarian has a strong policy.
