your trapeze bars to those who are unable to afford new equipment.<\/p>\n Medical equipment refurbishment centers will gladly take your trapeze bar, do any required maintenance, and find it a new home. Typically, these are non-profit organizations, and they will redistribute to someone who has a low income, no health insurance, or an elderly person in need at as low a cost as possible, or even for free.<\/p>\n Reuse centers will work to redistribute the equipment as well, but they do not necessarily do any work or sanitizing on the equipment, and again very often redistribute to people in need, at a low cost or for free.<\/p>\n You can ask the center you choose, if your donation would be sold or gifted, if this is important to you.<\/p>\n To find a center near you, just do an online search for “medical equipment refurbishing centers” or “reuse centers” near you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text module_id=”donatetrapezeindependent” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Your local Center for Independent Living (CIL) helps individuals with disabilities to live in the community independently\u00a0 –<\/span><\/p>\n “provide independent living services for people with disabilities.
