What can I donate?

Remember this guideline: intact, clean and reusable.

However, you can choose to forget this guideline when donating electrical and electronic equipment or bicycles – we also accept these as broken or as parts.

Where can I donate?

Use the Closest places to donate items in the top menu to see what you can donate and where!

When you enter your postal code, the service will find the nearest store that accepts, for example, large furniture, large appliances or bicycles.

Donation categories

Below you can see what kind of goods you can donate to which store, by product category. We accept the majority of product categories in every store.

Is my donation reusable?

Donated furniture, clothing and small household items must be intact, clean and reusable. However, you can also bring items to us if you are worried about their condition. We are Finland’s most versatile secondhand retailer and quite capable of finding new life for all kinds of products.

The employees of our donation service points – the salvagers – are professionals in assessing the reusability of goods. If we can’t accept the goods, we will advise you on a more suitable disposal site.

Items that are in poor condition and clearly unsuitable for reuse should be delivered to HSY’s Sortti station. You can order a Pick-up service from HSY or take your goods by carpool, for example. For more information on Sortti stations, see the HSY website. Please note that HSY’s collection bins for discarded textiles can no longer be found at the Recycling Centre.

Please do not bring safety equipment (such as child gates, safety seats, fall protection or helmets) to the Recycling Centre, as we are not allowed to recycle these for safety reasons. The exception to this are hockey helmets.

Waste management fee for furnitures

Waste management fee

Furniture and other items that are to be disposed of belong primarily to HSY’s Sortti stations. However, when the sorting stations are closed, we accept individual pieces of furniture for a waste management fee:

  • Large furniture (e.g. sofas, bookcases, large dining tables) 32 €
  • Medium sized furniture (e.g. armchairs, small shelves) 16 €
  • Small furniture (e.g. bedside tables) 8 €

 

Pick-up service for donations

If you have a lot of stuff, don’t worry – a pick-up service will help!
