This is the only place I know that will accept used bedding. I have Anthropologie comforters that I no longer need and it was a pain getting turned away by other thrift stores for quality bedding! The staff was rocking out to some punk band and were pretty enthusiastic about sharing the nonprofit mission that donations and sales contribute to. I've found a great vintage dresser that I refurbished for $20 here and there is a good selection of kitchen utensils and housewares like baking pans that you can stock up on at the fraction of new.
