Support Our Mission & Help the Environment
Habitat ReStore accepts new and gently used construction items, home improvement products and furniture that is in good, working condition. Donating to the ReStore is a GREEN way to help your community. Each year, the ReStore spares more than 200 tons of good, usable (sometimes brand new) materials from the Pinellas County landfill.

Deconstruction Services - Demolishing an existing home? Avoid additional trash hauling and disposal fees while receiving a tax deduction.
Current Items Needed
Although we always accept a wide range of items, we are especially in need of the following:
-
Working Appliances
-
Kitchen & Bath Cabinets
-
Windows
-
Flooring
Deconstruction is the process of hand-dismantling rooms and buildings to salvage useable items, like cabinets, appliances, lighting & plumbing fixtures, doors & windows, etc. These items are then re-sold at our ReStore. The ReStore deconstruction crew can provide this service for free on future demolition projects only. If you are remodeling, we recommend you have your contractor deconstruct the reusable items and have the ReStore pickup for free. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a deconstruction or pickup.
Contact us today.
