Our clients will not take soiled baby items (90% of what we get are soiled). These are items that fill our dumpster quickly.
Car seats are the only items our clients ask for. However, we have no way of knowing if donated car seats are expired or recalled. For the health and safety of our client’s children, we do not want to risk giving them a dangerous car seat.
