Items Not Accepted

 

Sans Souci greatly appreciates every donation that we receive.

However, when Sans Souci receives items that we cannot sell, we must dispose of them. Disposal of the following items can be costly and when we are left with these costs, the amount of funds we have available to help community members and our employees reduces.

Due to Indiana state guidelines, Sans Souci does not accept the following items:

  • Televisions

  • Refrigerators

  • Computers

  • Monitors

  • Mattresses

  • Box springs Refrigerators

  • Freezers

  • Gas appliances

  • Large commercial desks

  • Entertainment centers

  • Car seats

  • Air conditioners

  • Furnaces

  • Helmets of any kind

  • Fireworks

  • Ammunition

  • Alcohol

  • Opened or expired food

  • Open makeup

  • Sensitive documents

  • Remodel items like fixtures (unless brand-new), carpet, lumber, vanities and paint

  • Pianos or organs

  • Tires

  • Items that are wet or have strong odors

  • Household trash

How to Bring Items

Loose donation items need to be contained either in a box or a bag. It is very difficult for us to get your totes back, so our preference is for you to bring them in something you don’t need back. Please refrain from “double-knotting” bags, as we can easily reuse the bag for our operation and recycling needs. Clothing should be taken off the hanger, but the hangers can be donated as well.
