ARE DONATIONS TAX DEDUCTIBLE?

Monetary donations, large furniture items, and large appliances are eligible for a charitable donation receipt. See below to learn how to request one from our head office.

• housewares (ie. dishes, utensils/cutlery/silverware, tableware, decorative objects, etc.)
• toys
• books
• artwork/pictures
• electronics
• computer equipment
• seasonal items
• garden tools/equipment

Please inform us at the time of booking a pickup or drop-off that you would like a charitable donation receipt. Charitable donation receipts are not automatically provided for each donation. 

Receipts must be requested each time donations are dropped off/scheduled for pick-up, as we do not keep ongoing requests for charitable donation receipts in our system.

Upon your request you will be asked to provide the following information for the tax receipt:

• Name of the recipient
• Address & postal code (to be written on receipt)
• City/Province
• Detailed list of the large items that you are donating.
• Email/mailing address that you would like the receipt sent to.

Our management staff will assess the condition and value of the items once they are brought back to our warehouse (based on their retail price in our stores). If eligible, we will send you a tax receipt by email/mail for the donations received. If the donated items do not meet the eligible criteria, a tax receipt will not be issued to the donor.

All requests for receipts must go through our head office PRIOR to the scheduled pick-up of your donations. Any requests or information provided to the drivers at the time of pick-up, or after the pick-up has occurred, are not guaranteed to be processed. It is not the driver’s responsibility to collect or transmit such information. Requests may be forgotten or misplaced along their route. 

If you have any questions regarding charitable donation receipts please do not hesitate to contact our head office:
