Items We Do Not Accept

Thank you in advance for referencing this list -- it saves us an enormous amount of energy! Unfortunately, some items are restricted for resale by the Texas Department of Health Services; others may be too large to fit in our space. We will graciously accept what we are able to sell in our store; otherwise, we will redistribute to other nonprofits that are better equipped to sell, use or dispose of the item(s) in an ecologically-friendly manner.
