One of the many good pieces of information on www.smartgivers.org is the “Donating Autos and Other Goods” section. Could I name another charity that takes auto donations besides the Courage Center? No, but SmartGivers can name 86 of them. Even better, the site tells readers where to donate major appliances and office furniture. Whay is that valuable? Just try getting rid of a washer and dryer or a file cabinet through most charities. They don’t accept them. The site also tells which charities will pick up these items from your home.

While you’re searching, check out the standards of your favorite charity. Let me know if there are items for donation that no charity wants, unless of course it’s old, dilapidated and in poor condition. There’s a point at which we all have to take responsibility for our own trash.
