Donations:
Yard sales help support recycling efforts. When your yard sale is over, help one more way by donating the stuff that did not sell to your local Salvation Army. Not only do you help a good cause, but you also will get a slip for a tax deduction so it is a win-win situation. The link below will direct you to a Salvation Army near you and they have a helpful Donation Valuation Guide for tax deductions.
