Other notes
- Put all items in the vehicle trunk BEFORE arrival. Stay in your vehicle; volunteers cannot enter the passenger compartment. Textiles must be in clean plastic bags, small electronics in cardboard boxes, cooking oil in a sealed container. Unbagged textiles/small electronics are not accepted.
- Accepted extras include clothing/shoes, scrap metal, cooking oil and fluorescent TUBES. NO compact fluorescent/CFL bulbs. Accepted electronics include computers/screens, printers/scanners, cords, small servers, phones, consoles, stereos, holiday string lights, microwaves and toasters.
- No large white goods/refrigerators/freezers/air conditioners, large wooden speakers, business electronics or HHW. The accepted list mentions computer batteries but the exclusion list says batteries; ask eWorks before bringing loose or damaged batteries.
- Payment wording conflicts within the city page: safety instructions say exact cash or prepay, while a later section says cash or card accepted onsite, no checks. Safest approach is prepay and show the receipt or bring exact cash; confirm card service before relying on it.
- Separate curbside electronics service requires an LRS appointment and stickers. Its item counts and appliance rules are not the fees or acceptance policy for this monthly drop-off.
