I’ve been trying to get in contact with this facility but when you call they say the answering services has been temporarily suspended. I give this place a one star. First off let me say how everything I gave them had tickets on them and were brand new and some were name brand NIKE, ADIDAS , PUMAS ect. As soon as I pulled up there was a guy there he came up to my car and helped grabbed the bags. I had 2 bags closed and one bag open with shoes that were also name brand. He throws them into this cage with I’m guessing other items that were donated. He just threw the things I’ve donated as if it was getting thrown to a trash can I couldn’t believe it. Then he proceeded to give me a paper just with the date and a signature. I asked him for more information on what I would do with that paper he handed me. He shrugged his shoulders and said put whatever you want on that paper and do what you want with it……. He was by far rude for that. this cannot be serious ??? I couldn’t believe I gave those clothes and shoes to a facility that treated my items as garbage when I could have gave them to another facility who actually appreciates it....

I was hoping to find some interesting books (like horror novels, manga if I'm really lucky, etc.), but sadly there weren't any beside a very old dictionary and a self-help book. It was the same with the films and video games -- there wasn't really much of anything to pick out. There was a battlefield 3 for the xbox and three films, one of which was a old cowboy movie and I can't remember the other two.

They did have a small stack of old vinyl records. I couldn't recognized any of the artists/bands on them. Oh, I also found a singer's sewing machine. I've already got one at home, but I figured I'll mention it because I know it's something that the self-taught seamstress or sew frugal are always on the...
