Thank you for your interest in partnering with us to recycle items your family is outgrown!

We are currently taking in Fall/Winter Styles only, we will make exceptions for only sizes 5T through 14y very gently used styles we can save for next year! See list of needs below!

The demand for us to take in goods is very high and we love it! 

We do however have limited space and can only physically go through so much at once. Please help us keep this train-a-moving by reading and following all of the important requirements below; we appreciate it so soo much!

Please go through your clothing items and discard visibly stained/worn items beforehand.

2. We DO buy in equipment and gear such as swings, bassinets, co-sleepers, bouncers, strollers. Cribs- must send info beforehand. We do NOT resell car seats.  

If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram @carsonvalleykids you can message us pictures so we can let you know if it is something we need before you put it in the car.                                   

 **We will not take in excessively dirty, recalled or old (6+ yrs.) products. Not sure if your gear is recalled? head to www.cpsc.gov to check.

If you bring in old/broken/recalled equipment you will be responsible for picking it back up or paying a $5 disposal fee.** as we cannot donate these items anywhere.

3. We love gently used toys, puzzles and games! Please group toys in zip locks or recycled grocery bags so we know what goes together. Feel free to bag like-items i.e cars, heroes, legos etc. If the item needs new batteries we can replace them for cost of batteries.

4. Your store credit is good for gently used items in the store. We will have a lot of new items from popular brands that will need to be purchased separately. 

Store credit will eventually expire one year after it is entered on your account. Your store credit will be good to use on gently used items at both of our locations!

5. We do not go through your items on the spot but will text you as soon as it's done! 

We kindly ask for up to 10 days to go through your items-average is 4 days- it just depends on business volumes.

You can choose to pick-up or for us to donate any items we do not need. If you choose to PICK-UP your items vs. selecting for us to DONATE them for you, you will need to pick-up these items timely. We try to donate to local families in need when possible, otherwise items are donated to the Reno chapter of the Friends of the Multiple Sclerosis Society. As of July 2021 Friends of MS Reno has stopped taking in any hard goods for donations so it is important for us to make sure we are not left to take care of a bunch of hard goods that cannot be resold or donated so please please reach out to us beforehand if your unsure!

**If we do not hear back from you we will have to eventually donate your items; we do try to hold on to them as long as we have space.**
