Donate Items for Smashing

Decluttering? Moving? We'll take it.

What we take

The Anger House accepts donations of items that other people are going to enjoy breaking. Generally, we welcome:

Glass items — plates, mugs, drinking glasses, wine bottles, beer bottles, vases, ceramic figurines, picture frames, decorative bowls
Small electronics — DVD players, VHS players, CD players, alarm clocks, landline phones, fax machines, printers, scanners
Small appliances — blenders, coffee makers, toasters, microwaves (without the magnetron — we remove these), toaster ovens
Speakers — old computer speakers, boom boxes, alarm clock radios
Keyboards and computer monitors — CRT monitors are gold; modern LCD/LED monitors we take but break carefully
VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs — by the box if you have them

Anything with a lithium-ion battery — laptops, phones, tablets, modern wireless headphones. Fire hazard.
Fluorescent bulbs (mercury)
Pressurized containers (propane tanks, full aerosols)
Anything containing freon (working refrigerators, A/C units)
Anything with hazardous chemicals (printer toner cartridges intact, ink cartridges full, mercury thermometers)
Large furniture — we're a small room
Anything sharp that isn't ALREADY breakable

Two ways:

During open hours — Just bring it by. Thursday 5–8, Friday 5–9, Saturday 12–9, Sunday 11–5.
By appointment — For larger loads, call ahead and we'll arrange a daytime drop-off when we're at the space prepping.

It costs us less to acquire breakables, which keeps session prices reasonable for everyone
The stuff doesn't end up in landfill in its current form — at least it gets one last satisfying use first
You get the small but real satisfaction of knowing the wedding china from your divorce is going to a better afterlife

The Anger House is an LLC, not a 501(c)(3) — so donations aren't tax-deductible. But we are extremely grateful regardless.
