The BMRC accepts building materials that are in good to excellent condition and on our list of high-demand items. While we do our best to assess the appropriateness of a donation before pick-up, there is no substitute for actually seeing it. Therefore, the BMRC staff member has the authority to refuse items that s/he determines to be inappropriate for the homeowners and nonprofits we serve. We are a small nonprofit and must be careful not to accept items that we will need to pay to dispose of later on. |

|
If we are picking up your donated items and they are particularly heavy or large, it may require an able-bodied person at the pick-up location to help load it onto our truck. If you have told us that such a person will be available, and that person is not there, we will be unable to pick up the donation. |
|
|
If you plan to deduct the fair market value of the materials from your taxes, we suggest taking photos of the materials before they are donated. Keep the photos with the BMRC’s receipt to document your donation. |
|
|
Materials being picked up by our truck must be at street level and in close proximity to the street or driveway. Materials in basements or several floors up will not be picked up unless specific arrangements have been made. |
|
|
Because the BMRC cannot test or warranty appliances, we accept only appliances that are in like-new condition and not more than a few years old. As with all donations, our staff member has the last word on appliances. |
|
|
The BMRC’s modest pick-up fee ($25.00 inside Route 495; $50.00 outside Route 495) helps cover vehicle and staffing costs associated with collecting your donation.
|
|
You may drop off donated materials Monday through Friday, 9:00-4:00, or Saturday, 9:00-2:30.
