What We Take
Donating materials to BRING
BRING accepts a wide variety of reusable and surplus building materials, garden supplies and related items. Proceeds from the sale of your donated goods support our mission to provide conservation opportunities, education and inspiration throughout our community. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Donations are received every day until 4 pm at the Planet Improvement Center. We pick up high-value materials in some cases - call for fees and schedule.
|
Materials must be in good, reusable condition, except for fee-based items, which are accepted for recycling. Restrictions may apply to some items. Here's a sampling of what we take.
