Product donations
Donate your unwanted materials and equipment
Are you a manufacturer looking for a place to send your unwanted but good and reusable over stock? Are you a company or business that has furniture, supplies, or equipment that are in good or new condition, and no longer needed?
It is always best for you to bring your donations to us. However, we do pickup large donations from local businesses. Please contact us to discuss your donation.
Donate your unwanted office and school supplies, arts and crafts materials, books and other items! Drop off donations are accepted on Select Fridays from 9:30 a.m to 2:30 p.m. Please contact us before you put it in the trash or send it to be recycled.
Donation Guidelines
In general, if it goes in, on or around your desk or is found in an office or a school we will take it.
All items must be in good, usable or reusable condition.
-
We cannot accept items or materials that are broken, unusable, potentially hazardous or that require special disposal (such as fluorescent bulbs, chemicals and certain outdated technology and electronic equipment).
This list includes as many things as we could think of, but is not exhaustive. If you have a question about a specific donation and these guidelines don’t answer it, please feel free to call us at 207-699-5565 or send an email to office@ruths.org. Photos can be helpful for furniture and other large donations.
Donations can be dropped off on Select Fridays from 9:30 a.m-2:30 p.m at our warehouse located at 39 Blueberry Rd. Portland, Maine
