		We have a hunch that there are things on our A to Z List that you never thought you could donate! Print it out and the next you have cleaning or de-cluttering session, you'll have the information at hand. Don't throw it away! While there are 100s of items that Arc's Value Village Thrift Stores and Donation Centers accept, there are some items that cannot be donated or thrown away in the trash because they are harmful to the environment. This includes paint, batteries, fluorescent lightbulbs (both regular fluorescent and the new compact fluorescents), electronic items and more. Learn about disposing these items safely at www.greenguardian.com . Let's all do our part to make our environment safer and healthier for everyone.
