Your donated items are not used in Habitat homes. Instead, our ReStores sell donations at a discount to the public. All proceeds from the ReStores support Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s homeownership programs for local families. 

No, please ensure your donation is in full working order. Due to space, cost, and safety concerns, we do not accept non-working appliances, used batteries, electronics, fluorescent lighting, mattresses, or paint. Please check with your local recycling centers or call your local ReStore for a referral. THANK YOU for helping us divert hazardous materials from the landfill!

Please note: We charge a $20 handling fee for each donated appliance, working or non-working, that may contain Freon. This fee helps offset costs we incur for recycling metals, including items containing Freon. We appreciate your understanding.

If you need items picked up from inside your home, use the priority pickup service through ReSupplyMe, where associates can come inside your home. If you choose to have your items picked up through the ReStore’s regular pickup service, we cannot enter your home. Our insurance policy prevents our staff and volunteers from entering homes. Please leave your donations outside or in a garage area for pickup.

No – all donation pickups in Metro Denver are free when scheduled online! Click here to see if your home is in our pickup range.  If you need to schedule your pick up over the phone, there is a $25 service charge to help us cover staff costs. 

For a standard pickup, we will be able to pick up your donation in 2-3 business days. Our regular ReStore pickup service runs Tuesday through Saturday. For our partnership service through ReSupplyMe, pickups are usually available within 48 hours. 

Our drivers will provide you with the necessary paperwork when they come to pick up your donation. If you are unable to be present for your pickup, please let us know in advance an appropriate place to put the receipt at the pickup location. Legally, Habitat cannot appraise your donation(s), so all donors must fill out an estimated value for their donation(s) on the receipt. Please keep in mind that you are required by law to fill out IRS Form 8283 for any donation you value at $500 or more. If your donation’s value exceeds $5,000, you must obtain a qualified appraisal and complete Section B of Form 8283, then attach both to your tax return.
