Clothing donations: of clean and gently used clothes to the Bonfield Family Life Center, located at: 408 Gagnon St, Bonfield, ON.

If you have used clothing that you want to dispose of, donating is a great option. In fact, donating your clothes is the most socially responsible and environmentally friendly choice for disposal!

We ACCEPT items containing refrigerants. 

• Fridge, mini fridge, chest freezer
• AC unit, water cooler

Please bring assistance to unload large items.

Please notify the front attendant if you have an item containing or used to contain refrigerant.

There is a $40.00 charge per untagged item.

The charge covers the cost to have the item properly drained of its      refrigerant and tagged. If the item has had its refrigerant leaked, it is still a $40.00 charge as it still needs to be inspected and tagged.

If the item has already been tagged, it’s a $20.00 charge. Staff must be able to see the tag.

Please place these items separate from the scrap metal pile, in their    designated area.
