BEFORE YOU DONATE:

• Review items we do and do not accept below.

• PLEASE provide us with a general list of what you will be donating in the "notes" section so that we can let you know if something is not acceptable as we will turn the item(s) away at your appointment.

• Organize your items so we can see everything clearly when you drop it off.
• Wear a mask when you arrive and knock on the donations door ( SW Alder Street, to the East of the main entrance)
• No contact delivery (we can not help you move your donation from the car).
• We try look through every donation to make sure we accept everything in it and reserve the right to reject any donations. The more organized your donation is, the faster we will be able to get you in and out, and the more helpful it is for us.

Consider a financial donation to SCRAP to help us offset operational costs of processing your donation. Thanks for supporting SCRAP!

Please Note

• As of May 14th we have removed the limit to size of donation and ask if you have multiple appointments, please go ahead and bring all your donations in your next appointment and cancel your remaining appointments.
• To leave your donation on the sidewalk at any time without checking in with a SCRAP team member is considered dumping, regardless of the items. This hurts our organization, our neighborhood, and our community; and it's against the law. 
  
• SCRAP PDX can’t accept donations mailed to the store. All donations must be made in person.

Do you love that your donated materials skip the waste stream and make their way into creative hands?

It costs SCRAP to divert all these usable materials and make them available to our community. Some of our customer's favorite items are processed at a financial loss to our organization. Consider donating to SCRAP to help us offset these costs. 

Items We Generally Accept

Note: Italicized items we are especially in need of.

Items We Never Accept

Please note: We occasionally get overloaded with items that we would normally accept and can no longer take them until we clear some inventory space. Please review the regularly updated Items We Accept info above, before donating.
