I have an electric control hospital bed to donate. Can anyone suggest where I can donate it?

Live on Long Island New York, bed in apartment in Wantagh NY

Was this gotten thru Medicare. If so, Medicare rents these beds. I think after the rent reaches the cost of the bed, then the person owns it. You may want to check with the provider to see if its been paid off. If not, its suppose to go back to them.

I ran a loan closet and had to be careful when excepting donations.

Bed was gotten thru Medicaid, several years ago.

I put mine on Craigslist and within hours, someone came and took it.

Check a Nurses lending closet near you.
A local Senior center
You can put an ad on Craigs List or your local FB Garage Sale page.
Most people get beds through Medicare, Medicaid, Hospice
If you can not find takers for it contact a local metal scrap yard, recycle yard and they will buy it for scrap. (if you can get it to them or they may have a scrapper that will pick up..you can put it on the curb on garbage day all metal items disappear in the night!
What no one will take is the mattress.
OH, also call one of the donation pickup programs Purple Hearts, AM Vets, Salvation Army
