Transitioning to Fall - Donation Change August 7, 2023 Megan Schoephoerster Summer is coming to a close, and back-to school season is at the forefront of everyone’s brains. The changing of the seasons means that we change our shop a little bit to make space for ‘what you need’. Gardening Supplies. Our gardens are in full August harvest, and we are paring down our inventory as your garden does the same. We will no longer accept your garden tools, outdoor planters, watering cans, and lawn care items. Large fitness equipment such as yoga chairs, desk bikes, and bench seats will no longer be accepted due to the large space they take up in our little shop. The rainy season is coming, which means our shop cannot place items for sale outside on our sidewalk any longer. Therefore, we will only accept items that will fit inside our shop at each given time. Bikes. Recreational pedal bikes will no longer be accepted. Your local bike repair and secondhand shops would be great options for your donation.You will find our updated “Items we Accept” list on our website, www.mercerislandthrift.org/items-we-accept
