Accepted items include sports balls, bats, mitts and sports gloves, cleats and shin guards, racquets and paddles, lacrosse, field hockey and hockey sticks, rollerblades, youth golf clubs, swim goggles, and razor scooters. Items that will not be accepted include helmets, pads, ski or snowboard gear, sneakers, clothing, hunting or archery equipment, bicycles, and ice skates.
