Donation Information

Arrangements for pick-up or drop-off of donation materials are strictly between the resident and the organization. The City of Santa Clara is NOT responsible for coordinating or arranging pick-up or drop-off of various donation materials. We want to provide the information for residents to obtain in order to donate items that are reusable, rather than throwing the items away. Please go to the various web pages listed below, or call the various organizations for hours, drop-off locations, what they will accept, what they will not accept, etc.
