Pass It On: A Resourceful Guide to Donating Usable Stuff 1

Introduction

The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is pleased to publish its seventh edition of Pass It On: A Resource-Full Guide to Donating Usable Stuff. Since 1997, this book has been helping thousands of people pass on their unwanted but usable items to those in need. Listed inside are over 135 community service organizations that use donated items to support their work. These organizations work on behalf of youth, seniors, the homeless, animals and others in Cuyahoga County.

Toys, art supplies, clothing, books, school supplies, office equipment, sporting goods, tools, furniture and more can be donated. We hope that you will use this booklet before throwing away your usable stuff. Doing so will help others while reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

The items and organizations listed in this book are also included in a searchable database at www.CuyahogaRecycles.org. The District’s “What Do I Do With?” database lists up-to-date donation information for these non-profit organizations. Look for the “Where to Donate” button as you search the site.

The Pass It On book is also available in a PDF format at www.CuyahogaRecycles.org/district_publications

If you would like your organization included in our next edition or would like to comment on this booklet, please contact the District.

This guide has two parts: the Donation Index and the Organization Directory. Use the Donation Index to quickly find the names of organizations that accept the things you

wish to donate. Once you have identified those organizations, look them up in the Organization

Directory to read more about them and their donation procedures. We included donation procedures for each organization as a reference only.

To learn more about an organization, visit their website or find them on social media. Most non-profits have a Facebook page or a Twitter account where you can interact with them about their mission and their donation wants and needs. Organizations on Facebook are noted in this guide.

Tips on Donating Usable StuffWhen donating your unwanted items make sure they are clean and are in usable, working condition. You must call the organization you have selected before dropping off your items. Donations that have not been arranged or have been left after hours can become “uncharitable” donations if they are not needed or are unusable.

Always contact the organization directly to verify that they need your item(s) and to arrange your donation.

While this guide lists over 135 places to donate unwanted items in Cuyahoga County (and just beyond its borders), it is not exhaustive. Other donation possibilities exist in your local school, church, theater company, nursing home and library. Be creative and think of who might benefit from your unwanted items.

The information included in this guide was provided in response to our inquiries. Information may have been edited for consistency and space constraints. Mention in this guide does not constitute an endorsement by the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District.

• Individual contributions of $250 or more must be substantiated with written proof from the charity.

• The Internal Revenue Service lets taxpayers claim the “fair market value” of the item at the time the donation is made. While most charities will provide a receipt for your donation, most will not appraise the value of donated items.

• To help you determine the value of your donation, obtain a copy of IRS Publication #561, Determining the Value of Donated Property or #526, Charitable Contributions. Visit www.irs.gov or call the Cleveland IRS office at (216) 522-4048.

• Contributions to civic leagues, social clubs and business leagues are not tax-deductible; nor are donations made to for-profit thrift stores or merchandise sold on consignment.
