In order for us to maintain a safe
environment for our staff and all the visitors that come through our warehouse
seeking free materials we require that all of the materials donated to us are
clean and in immediately reusable condition
requiring no repair. Pick-ups require a minimum of 250 pounds of
acceptable donation or $1000.00 in declared value with elevator service to the
ground level that we can access between the hours of 9:00a and 3:00p on
weekdays. Please
remember that even if your items meet these requirements, the final decision for
accepting donations into the warehouse is at the discretion of MFTA
Staff.
While our goal is to keep useful
items from entering the waste stream we are not a salvage operation and cannot
accept donations of items that our groups will not reuse. MFTA does not accept any of the
items listed below:
lead based paint, toxic chemicals,
beds or bedding, food, broken glass, rusty metal, building materials that have
screws, nails or glue still attached, slabs of marble, uncrated glass, rusty or
broken furniture or filing cabinets.
Our
groups generally come to us with their own cars or vans and in most cases are
unable to take away large heavy items like pianos, refrigerators and
freestanding copiers. However through our Direct Donations system, we are able
to list many items that we are unable to take into the warehouse. Those are
listed below with an asterisk.
*Pianos, large appliances - stoves,
refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers - kitchen cabinetry,
computer monitors without a system, older computers, metal desks, flats or large
set pieces can be listed on our Direct Donations.
