| * | SCS can not accept tires or oil or any type of hazardous materials or household chemicals. | ||
| * | SCS “recycles” by RE-USE any item that is in usable condition. For example carpet with padding, the carpet can be any size but must be able to be used. Usually the padding can not be reused and must be disposed of by the carpet installer or taken to the landfill or put at the curb during “large item pick up” times. Mattresses are accepted in usable condition; they can not have blood stains. | ||
| * | TV’s, computer monitors, VCR’s, and any other electronic item need to be in working condition as SCS does not have repair persons at this time. Computer CPU’s can be accepted in non-working condition as we are usually able to recondition these. Electronic items are recycled by RE-USE. | ||
| * | Clothing and shoes are given away free; these items need to arrive at SCS in wearable condition. Clothing and shoes are recycled by RE-USE. | ||
| * | Furniture, bric-a-brac, knick knacks and other household goods are all accepted in useable condition. They are recycled by RE-USE. | ||
