Guide to Recyclables — Furniture

About

Don’t throw usable furniture in the trash!  Select the REUSE option of the 3Rs here and donate it.  There are a number of local organizations in the area that will gladly accept furniture.  Each organization has its own specific requirements.  Some will accept large items, others not; some will accept used mattresses, and again, others will not.  So be sure to check carefully before heading out.
