How to Donate Medical Equipment in New Jersey

New Jersey residents with old crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, mobility aids, bed lifts, caregiver supplies and first aid supplies can donate these products so that others can access the supplies and equipment they need. Choosing the best option for donation depends on the type of equipment you have and the part of the state in which you live. If you donate to a 501(c)3 organization, your medical equipment donation is tax deductible, so make sure you get a tax receipt showing the fair market value of the donated items.
