This place is a nightmare inside and out. They sell junk, price gouge, and don't appreciate donations.

Review based on dropoff experience. Ladies up front were very nice but dropoff guy was ignorant and rude as could be. He was jumping up and down like a orangutan and yelling. Wouldn't help unload and kept screaming put it on the ground. Not sure if he is a volunteer or a court ordered community service but he needs to go or learn how to not be so ignorant.

I love to go to BOGO on Friday with my wife. We can always find a little something for each of us. And we usually can find stuff for our grandkids too.

Sorry the answer is no. We cannot recycle them and sadly they do not sell well in the store. Affordable Computers in Hanover is the best option in the area. There may be a small fee involved.

I have a vacuum cleaner that should be recycled, but I'm no longer young and am unable to get it in and out of my car. Someone told me the AC Rescue Mission would send someone to my house to pick it up. (I live near the college.) Is that so?

Where can someone take a floor model tv to recycle?

Crystal Golden | Oct 13, 2018
Adams Rescue Mission | Oct 13, 2018

It is a very difficult question to answer since it depends on which township you are in and if they have a place to drop off. We have not had success in suggesting places to people because of that. I would suggest calling your local trash company to find out. Sorry.

I have a very nice, large working Panasonic tube tv with remote. Very little hours on it. Was bought for teenagers bedroom then she went to college. Has 4 speaker surround. Is this an item that would be accepted. I really hate to throw it away.

Tammy Bolitski | Oct 13, 2018
Roy A. Cathcart Jr. | Oct 13, 2018

I've seen televisions sold there in the past, but if it's a large television you may want to call them first to see if they have the room for it and they may pick it up from your home by truck.
