There’s probably a box, bin or corner of the garage in your home that you’ve been meaning to deal with for months. Maybe you’ve been holding onto old electronics, household items or things you no longer use because figuring out where to take them feels like another chore. On September 26th, Nevada SPCA is giving Las Vegas residents a reason to finally sort through it all, and put some of those unwanted items to work for shelter pets.

Recycle & Rescue will bring Virgin Valley Ecommerce to Nevada SPCA for a collection that combines household cleanout with support for animals in need.

A Deadline For The Things You’ve Been Avoiding

Decluttering is often less about deciding what to get rid of and more about figuring out what happens next. Having a designated collection day can make that decision easier: instead of putting those items back in storage, set them aside now and have them ready to go.

Virgin Valley Ecommerce will collect a broad range of recyclable materials, including:

• Computers, laptops and servers
• Gaming consoles and other electronics
• Monitors, hard drives and solid-state drives
• Switches, modems, routers, keyboards and mice
• Kitchen and home appliances
• Wire, circuit boards, power supplies and other electronics components
• VCR, DVD, Blu-Ray, Betamax and Laser Disc players
• CD, MP3, cassette and record players
• Stereo equipment and speakers
• Solar inverters
• Motors
• Power and manual tools
• Electronic media, including VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, records, floppy disks and cassette tapes
• Auto parts
• All metals

Virgin Valley Ecommerce also provides auditable data destruction through electronic and physical drive destruction, which can be useful for anyone finally clearing out old computers or storage devices.

Don’t Forget The Pet Supplies

The cleanout doesn’t have to stop at the garage. Nevada SPCA will also accept gently used or new towels and sheets, as well as dog and cat food of any brand.

If your household has accumulated pet supplies that are no longer being used, this is a chance to pass them along to animals who can benefit from them. Pillows and comforters are not accepted.

Turn A Cleanout Into Something Useful

Recycle & Rescue takes place Saturday, September 26th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Between now and then, start opening the boxes you’ve been avoiding, looking through the garage and checking those storage spaces where unwanted items tend to accumulate. Instead of spending another year moving them from one spot to another, or figuring out where to take them later — you can have them ready for a collection that helps shelter pets.
