2 As Realtors, we are agents of change. With moving comes deciding what to take and what to leave. Many homeowners have treasured items they don t wish to merely donate or recycle. For those distinguished items there is a list of Auctioneers, Consignments, and Appraisers. Other items are easily saved from the landfill and donated - often for a great cause. You ll find included in this guide a diverse list of organizations that take items for a greater cause. Lastly, for those things that cannot be sold or donated, there is a list of recycle centers. Save it from the landfill - sell it, donate it or recycle it instead! Although this Donation Resource Guide names providers in one or more of these categories, the reader understands that Helen Adams Realty cannot guarantee the quality of service or level of expertise of any such provider.
