Got Items to Donate?

Do some good, earn some money, and keep it out of a landfill!

Make the most of your unwanted clothing and household items! (Or maybe you just purchased too much of a good thing on your last Costco run.) Trade, sell, or donate to a cause you support. Below is a list of Local Places that might just love what you no longer need. 

On the flip side of the coin, support the same causes by frequenting their thrift shops which they use as a source of funding for their community service programs.

Bricks & Minifigs also recommend contacting a nearby child care center, library, or children's hospital. Many times these facilities would love to receive items your child no longer plays with and incorporate them into their programs and play spaces.


May all your items have a happy second chance somewhere!
