Donation Guidelines
To ensure that only saleable items are donated, please be prepared to review your items with a Sale Volunteer before leaving them with us. This review will happen in a clearly marked location either in the parking lot, or at the bottom of the driveway. Disposing of left-over items on Sunday is a lot of work for volunteers, and expensive for the Marlboro Alliance. We deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us to make sure donated items are as likely as possible to end up in a happy new home.
We ACCEPT clean and usable…
clothing
household goods
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)

some electronics (less than two years old and fully functional OR antique/special interest)
