If you’re peering into your overfull closet and worrying about an avalanche FEAR NOT!  We’ve created this handy donation guide as an easy reference to help you choose whether to move previously loved items from your home to ours.   We hope you find these guidelines helpful, and our managers are glad to answer any questions you have regarding them.

Boomerangs Donation Guide

Donations can be made at our stores and at Dependable Cleaners locations throughout the city.  For more information on where to donate, click here!

Here at Boomerangs we’ve worked hard to bring you, our consumers and friends the best quality vintage and new merchandise we possibly can.  Since we know how much you hate using that microwave that doesn’t actually cook or wearing that sweater crazy Aunt June knitted (the orange one with three arms), we’ve made a commitment to only stocking the best.

WE CAN’T TAKE EVERYTHING:
We’re not your mom’s basement.  Since as much as we’ve tried, our pet ferrets won’t fix electronics (even though we’re sure they’re smart enough), Boomerangs cannot accept goods that are damaged or that require repair.  We also follow strong codes of health and limit liability which precludes some other items listed below.

Boomerangs management reserves the right to accept or decline any goods offered for donation, based on whether we can safely offer them to our customers.  Below is a list of things we can’t take for various reasons (if you’re extra curious, just ask us!)

Untattered, undamaged, gently worn clothing, including new children’s clothing.
Unbroken, undamaged electronics
Paperback and hardcover books
Previously loved furniture
Music (CDs, cassettes, & vinyl) in the original case
