Visit Our Store

1. Learn about the items we accept for donation and sell by VISITING THE STORE!

2. Never leave items outside the store when it is closed.

3. Be honest with staff! Does it only work if you can find a rare, discontinued part? Is the bottom half of the box full of giant spiders from your attic? Did you check the fabric for yucky smells or stains?

4. Treat your donations like the gift that they are by dusting them off, washing them or wrapping up cords. The value of your items can quickly diminish if we have to spend a lot of time cleaning and chasing spiders. We love spiders, but we don’t sell ‘em.

5. Take a photo of furniture or items you’re unsure of and email to jessi@heartofcartm.org or text to 971-389-8414 before loading it into your car.

6. Trust staff’s judgment on acceptance. We’ve been in the reuse business for over 25 years and it can still be a difficult call on whether or not we have the resources and ability to keep your items out of the landfill. Sometimes we say no to your items, but we still love you.

7. Ask us! We can advise you on finding the most appropriate outlet for your things. This could be another reuse outlet, the recycling center or the trash.
