WEIRD STUFF! 

If your items are reusable, we will always try to give them a second life; either in our Lucky Clover resell shop, in our recreate area or simply repurpose it. 

If we can repair, update or directly resell it in our shop, all proceeds go back into Clover but often times, we give our Clovers the opportunity to earn it or buy it at a discounted rate.

Batteries

Alkaline (AA, AAA, C, D, button batteries), NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium), NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride), Li-ion (Lithium Ion), Lead Acid (Car and small engine batteries) and any other kind you can think of.

Wires and Light Strings

#1 Wire (highest quality, stiff and very little insulation), #2 Wire (bendable, lots of insulation. Examples: extension cords, phone chargers, USB, power cords, etc), ROMEX (house wiring), COAX (TV antenna), Light Strings (Examples: Christmas lights, patio strings, etc) and any other items that carry power.

Metal

Any kind of metal, any kind of condition, mixed with anything including plastic, we take it.  (Examples: rusty tools, copper plumbing, brass doorknobs, keys, nails, screws, bolts, mop handles, appliances (no freon ones please), pots, pans, silverware, home decor, car rims, food cans, aluminum cans, aerosol cans, paint cans, on and on and on.)

Electronics

If it's an electornic item, we take it.  We partner with a Warren, Ohio based Veteran Owned small business that just started.  We exchange our electronics for their cardboard gaylords that we use for our paper recycling. Win-Win.

Egg Cartons

Styrofoam, cardboard or plastic ones. Must be clean and not cut into halves.  We have farmers that come and give us a donation to collect them for reuse. (If we get too many, we recycle the cardboard and the plastic ones.)

Printer Cartridges

All brands and all conditions. Epson, Brother, Canon, HP to name a few.

Ammunition, Spent Brass and Casings, Knives and Guns

Ammo, spent brass, casings, knives and other weapons are not covered by any paperwork to recycle or donate.  Guns need to have the proper paperwork before we can accept them, but we can assist with that too.

Precious Metals: Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, and Titanium

We will gladly accept these items and either resell them in our Lucky Clover resell shop or sell the broken items to a smelter to use the funds for Clover.
