Mission Thrift Store Trenton

Mission Thrift Store Trenton has a large downtown location and a great selection of ever changing merchandise. There is parking at the front and rear entrance.

DONATION INFO:

EFFECTIVE JULY 21ST 2020, We will be accepting donations only on Thursday's and Friday's starting at 9:30 am and will STOP once our allotted space is full. We have no idea at this time when that STOP will happen. PLEASE feel free to call the store before coming 613-394-2235. Once we stop, a sign will be in the window to indicate when the next donation date and time will be. If we don't reach capacity, then we will accept donations until 3 pm.

*We are NOT accepting donations at our back double green doors at this time. We have rented a small area 2 doors over (other side from J's Glow Spa) 54 Market Square where we will have our donation intake. These donations will be quarantined here for 72 hours before they are brought into our store for processing.

* Upholstered furniture will NOT be accepted at this time.

* Due to limited floor space in the store, if you have hard furniture to donate, you are required to call ahead to see if we can accept it. We can only accept it IF we have room on our sales floor to put it.

* There will be contactless donating. Bins will be placed in front for you to put your bags, a table will be out front for boxes. If you are unable to unload your trunk. Please open it and get back in your car and a volunteer will remove your items from the trunk for you.

* We ask that you don't show up with a truck load. Please space out your donations. We have limited space and hope to be able to accept from many donors.

* Since we are down in our numbers for volunteers, please make sure the items being donated are clean. We just don't have the numbers to be able to clean very dirty, dusty items. These items will be refused. (Clothes do not have to be washed to donate)

* Large toys will not be accepted at this time due to limited floor space.

ANY DONATIONS LEFT ON THE SIDEWALK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. THESE WILL BE CONSIDERED DUMPED AND BE SENT TO THE GARBAGE. SINCE WE DON'T OWN THE SIDEWALK, THE CITY DOES, THEY HAVE MULTIPLE ANGLE CAMERAS IN THE AREA ALREADY, YOUR PLATE WILL BE RECORDED AND A FINE FOR DUMPING ISSUED. THIS FINE IS MUCH MUCH HIGHER THAN A DUMP FEE AT THE LANDFILL.

All we ask is that you work with us through these trying times, not against us. ANY... ANY.. Questions... Please contact the store and ask for Deb - Manager. I will try and help any way possible with your donation questions. Contact 613-394-2235, trenton@missionthriftstore.com or through a FB message.
