â??Gently Used, Barely Used, Like Newâ?
The Transfer Station is no longer able to accept cloth as part of the recycling program. This change has a direct affect on the operation of Island Treasures Resale Shop. Previously, when we received donations of clothing that were stained, torn, or otherwise unusable, we would take them to the transfer station where they were recycled for free. Now, because of a change of Transfer Station policy, the rejected clothing items must go into a $4.00 â??green bagâ?
Transfer station employees, Bob and Amy, told us that over half of the volume of cloth that they handled, over the years, was generated by the resale shop. Now, the resale shop must absorb the cost of the four dollar green bags. To help defray the added cost we will have to raise the prices of clothing and linen items.
We are asking our generous donors to carefully sort each donation of linens and clothing. Items must be not be stained, torn, or frayed. Please check that buttons and zippers are working. Clothing is accepted in season.
The Resale Shop, including Carolâ??s Barn, is open Thursday through Saturday from noon until 4:00. If you need help at other times, just call.
People frequently ask about â??bigâ? donations. We do not accept mattresses, upholstered furniture, large appliances, computers, or TVs.
We are happy to serve our community and financially aid our first responders. Thank you for the decades of support and encouragement.
FYI- We have been at the Donnegal Bay Rd. location for 6 years! Time flies when you are having fun!
