Introduction
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is pleased to publish its fourth edition of Pass It On: A Resource-Full Guide to Donating Usable Stuff. Since 1997, this booklet has been helping thousands of people pass on their unwanted but usable items to those in need. Listed inside are 120 community service organizations that use donated items to support their work. These organizations work on behalf of youth, seniors, the homeless, and others in Cuyahoga County. Toys, art supplies, clothing, books, school supplies, office equipment, sporting goods, tools, furniture and more can be donated. We hope that you will use this booklet before throwing away your usable stuff. Doing so will help others while reducing waste and conserving natural resources. This booklet is also available on our website as a searchable database. The database lists the most current information available for these non-profit organizations.

Tips On Donating Usable Stuff
When donating your unwanted items make sure they are clean and are in usable, working condition. You must call the organization you have selected before dropping off your items. Donations that have not been arranged or have been left after hours can become “uncharitable” donations if they are not needed or are unusable. While this guide lists 120 places to donate unwanted items in Cuyahoga County, it is not exhaustive. Other donation possibilities exist in your local school, church, theater company, nursing home and library. Be creative and think of who might benefit from your unwanted items.
The information included in this guide was provided in response to our inquiries. Information may have been edited for consistency and space constraints. Mention in this guide does not constitute an endorsement by the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District.

Tax-Deductible Donations
Your donation of used goods may be tax-deductible. Below are some general tax tips related to donating. For complete information contact your accountant or tax advisor. • Individual contributions of $250 or more must be substantiated with written proof from the charity. • The Internal Revenue Service lets taxpayers claim the “fair market value” of the item at the time the donation is made. While most charities will provide a receipt for your donation, most will not appraise the value of donated items. To help you determine the value of your donation, obtain a copy of IRS Publication #526 (for individuals) or #542 (for corporations), entitled “Charitable Contributions.” • Contributions to civic leagues, social clubs and business leagues are not tax-deductible; nor are donations made to for-profit thrift stores or merchandise sold on consignment.
