Items CCRx Cannot Accept

It's hard to say "no thank you" to a donation. However, some items are unsafe or contain hazardous materials. Other times, the item costs more to transport, repair or refurbish than we can currently sustain. CCRx staff are trained to know what we can and cannot accept, and will help guide you to other possibilities for donations we cannot use.

​

Items we cannot accept include:

• CRT and DLP TVs, or rear-projection flat screen HDTVs

• Cribs or car seats

• Walkers or other products that do not meet the current safety standards of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, including recalled items

• Household chemical products (pesticides, paint, paint thinner, drain cleaner, over cleaner, aerosols, and other environmentally-unfriendly waste products)

• Automotive hazardous (tires, lead acid batteries, additives, gasoline, oils, antifreeze, etc.)

• Large appliances (refrigerators, freezers, stoves/ovens, washers/dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, furnaces, microwaves, trash compactors, water heaters, large console stereos, freon-based appliances, etc.)

• Personal care items (shampoo, conditioner, nail polish remover, shaving cream, hairspray, shavers, curling irons, etc.)
