The one item with federal rules
The crib: retire it right.
Crib disposal starts at $85, and the rules matter here more than any other item: since 2011, federal safety standards prohibit selling or donating drop side cribs and recalled models. Your Loader knows which path your crib can legally take.
The 2011 line
Why the drop side era ended.
After years of entrapment injuries, federal standards banned the manufacture, sale, and resale of drop side cribs in 2011. That ban extends to donation: thrift stores and charities are legally required to refuse them. Passing one along, however well intentioned, is both illegal and unsafe.
The right route
Compliant disposal is the responsible ending.
Your Loader disassembles the crib, and non compliant or recalled models route straight to disposal so they can never hold a child again. Modern fixed rail cribs in good condition get the donation first treatment instead.
Straight answers
Crib questions, answered plainly
Why can some cribs not be donated or sold?
Federal crib safety standards that took effect in 2011 make it illegal to sell or donate drop side cribs and any recalled model. Charities and resale shops are required to refuse them, which makes compliant disposal the responsible path.
How do I know if my crib is a drop side?
If either long rail slides up and down instead of being fixed, it is a drop side. Most cribs manufactured before 2011 with moving rails fall in this group.
What about the crib mattress?
Crib mattresses are held to strict firmness and fit standards for safe sleep. A used one is rarely accepted for donation, so it typically routes to recycling or disposal with the crib.
Can a compliant modern crib be donated?
Yes. A post 2011 fixed rail crib in good condition with all hardware can be offered to local partners first, and your Loader knows the acceptance rules before arrival.
