We’re committed to being a low-waste thrift store.
Please read all info below to see what you can donate to us.
Public Thrift is a small store. We do not have the ability to recycle clothing the way other larger chains do.
Please help us maintain our quality and donate items that are in good shape. Ask yourself, if you needed this item, would you buy it in the condition you are donating it in?
The Process
Bring in items to donate into the store during store hours.
Limit 30 items per person. If you plan to donate more call ahead.
Wait & shop while we look through your items.
We will let you know what we cannot accept.
For larger items, such as furniture, send a video and/or photos to 313-312-5833 or email detroitpublicthrift@gmail.com.
