Request a Donation Pick-Up
Need a pick-up of donated items? To schedule a pick-up for ReStore Elgin or ReStore Arlington Heights, please select your donation preference below, fill out the form on the next page and attach images if you have them. You must include the pick-up location so we can determine if it is in our service area. If not, we will try to refer you to a ReStore in your area.
We will get back to you in 1-2 business days. Click here for a list of what we can and cannot accept. Our list changes, depending on current inventory and sales.
Donate Building Materials, Furniture, Appliances
Whether you have overstock, surplus, or discontinued product lines or display materials, or are involved in remodeling projects where reusable materials are being replaced with new product, we may want it. Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)3 charity, so donations are tax deductible.
We ask for your cooperation in donating only materials that are truly reusable. Please understand that if we feel that we cannot sell an item, we reserve the right to decline the donation, so that ReStore profits are used to build homes, and not pay for disposal fees.
Donations of building materials may be used directly on one of our build sites, depending on construction needs. However, most donations are sold through our ReStore, and the proceeds directly fund current building projects.
