Like furniture, appliances and general household stuff.
Would an overall value (FMV) of 2K be worth it to get income tax receipts? How much in a reduced income tax payment would that correspond to? BTW i recently submitted medical receipts totaling a 4 figure amount and, according to my tax accountant, got my tax reduced by the measly value of a meal at the golden arches, hardly worth bothering with.
What Vancouver charities will move such stuff out from a suite as opposed to requiring it be picked up in the lobby of a building or at the entrance to it?
BTW for a tax deductible valuation guide for many goods donated to the Salvation Army in the USA:

http://www.thriftstore.ca/central-ontario/salvation-army-thrift-store-faqsThe Salvation Army provides a pick-up service for Furniture items only. This service is offered, free of charge, in select areas of the GTA, Etobicoke, East Toronto, Markham, Scarborough, Newmarket, Georgetown, and Brampton, to name a few.
Once a pick-up has been arranged with a donor, we ask that the furniture item be brought to the main entry level of the residence so we can remove the items in a quick and safe manner. For health and safety reasons, we do not accept used mattresses, box springs, pull out or sleeper sofas.
