How Does Reesecycle Work?

At Reesecycle, we make it easy for you to contribute to a more sustainable future while gaining valuable tax benefits in return. Whether you’re donating broken items, scrap materials, or even making a monetary contribution, your donation helps us reduce waste, reuse materials, and renew items for others to enjoy. Here’s how the process works:

1. Drop Off Your Donations

Visit one of our convenient Drop-off locations , and one of our friendly team members will assist you. We accept a wide variety of items, including:

• Broken or damaged appliances, electronics, furniture, and tools
• Scrap materials like metal, wood, and other reusable resources
• Items that can be repaired, repurposed, or used for parts

Our team will carefully assess your donation. We evaluate items as a whole, by parts, or by weight, ensuring that every possible component is saved and put to good use.

2. Tax Deductible Donations

Did you know your donations to Reesecycle are eligible for a tax write-off? The value of your donation is calculated at fair market value (FMV)—the price an item would sell for on the open market. This means you can deduct the FMV of your donated items from your taxable income, which may lower your overall tax liability.

3. Receive a Donation Receipt

Once your donation is accepted, we provide you with a donation receipt. This receipt serves as proof of your donation and is essential for anyone looking to claim a tax deduction. The receipt authenticates the transaction, ensuring you have the proper documentation to present to the government when filing your taxes.

4. Monetary Donations Welcome

In addition to item donations, Reesecycle also accepts monetary contributions. These donations help us continue our mission of reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Like item donations, monetary contributions are also tax-deductible, and you’ll receive a receipt to document your gift.

5. Why Donate to Reesecycle?

By donating your items to Reesecycle, you’re not just clearing out your garage or decluttering your home—you’re actively helping to reduce waste, lower demand for new products, and support environmental sustainability. Every donated item we repair, reclaim, or repurpose keeps valuable materials out of landfills and in circulation.
