Recycle & Donate Responsibly

Why We Can't Accept Certain Items

At Sewing Machines & Vacuums Unlimited, our priority is the safety, quality, and feasibility of the items we accept.

By not accepting these items, we ensure the best experience for our customers and maintain the integrity of our donation process.
