What is the Treasure Chest?  The Treasure Chest thrift store has been a source of financial support for RVCC since its opening in 2001. The store performs an essential service for the Community. This is a place where people can RECYCLE and FIND all types of gently used items. In our financially eclectic community, this is a sound proposition from all points of view. In addition to serving the many shoppers, store staff and volunteers serve a more quiet service. On a daily basis, people’s needs are met whether or not they are able to pay. Most of what is culled from the inventory goes to another organization that serves the low-income population of Nelson and elsewhere.

QUALITY DONATIONS

When donating, please ask yourself if you would be proud to give this to someone you know well. If it is gently used, and in working condition, then chances are it is a good donation. If you are unsure whether an item fits these criteria, a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “Would I buy this item in this condition?”

Donations are accepted inside the Treasure Chest during regular hours of operation.  Our staff and volunteers welcome and appreciate your kind, thoughtful donations that are in immediate re-sale condition. While we always try to reuse and recycle all of our donations, items that are stained, need cleaning, repairs, are missing parts, or are in bags or containers that may be mildewed, contain spiders or insects, or have kept company with mice or other critters, are not suitable for the store. In fact, the cost of handling, storing and removing items that are unsalable actually have a negative impact on our shop.

Please Note:

Please DO NOT leave donations outside the door at any time!

Please carefully review the following list of items we CANNOT ACCEPT, even in normal times:

• Items not coming from a smoke-free environment.
• Any Clothing or fabrics that have not been recently washed, or those that contain mold, mildew, musty odors, or evidence of mice.
• Furniture in disrepair.
• Mattresses, box springs, sofa beds, or upholstered furniture.
• Pressboard or composite board furniture or rickety items.
• Venetian blinds and shades, water beds, metal filing cabinets or desks.
• Bicycles, exercise or sports equipment.
• Household cleaners, paints, stains, varnishes, etc.
• Tires, car batteries & other automotive items.
• Large appliances, flammable liquids, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and anything that has been recalled or deemed hazardous by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, such as baby equipment.
• Building materials, windows, doors, screens, old kitchen cabinets.
• Carpets and padding larger than 8′ x 12′
• Games or puzzles with missing pieces or used toys.
• Beauty, healthcare or personal hygiene items.
• Textbooks, reference books or magazines.
• Electronics, computers and monitors, fax, printers, phones or tube televisions.

RVCC (including the Treasure Chest) is not permitted to dispose of anything at the Rockfish Collection Center next door.  For these reasons, we must ask you to dispose of any items you bring that we cannot accept.
