Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drop off clothing directly at the Planet Aid office in Elkridge?
The Elkridge address is Planet Aid's regional operations office, not a public drop-off facility. Clothing donations go in the yellow bins located throughout the area. Use the bin finder at planetaid.org to find the nearest location — bins are accessible 24/7 and there is no need to drive to the office.
What textiles does Planet Aid accept in its bins?
Planet Aid accepts clean clothing, shoes, bedding, towels, curtains, and sleeping bags. Items must be dry and bagged. Wet, mildewed, or heavily soiled items should not be donated as they cannot be redistributed or processed.
Is a Planet Aid donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Planet Aid is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donors can generate a donation receipt online at planetaid.org for use as a charitable-contribution deduction on federal taxes.
