Residential Donations

Why choose the ReStore?

We keep items out of the landfill, giving them their second life. Revenue generated by the ReStores contributes to Habitat HMD’s mission of building strength, stability and independence through affordable housing for local families.

How to make a ReStore donation

Donation Drop-Offs

You can drop off your donations at any of our ReStore locations (Burlington, Milton, Mississauga, and Orangeville). Donations valued at $300 or more are eligible for a charitable tax receipt. Additionally, all donors will receive a 20% off coupon for their next ReStore purchase. Drop-offs are welcome Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m

Residential Pick-Up

For a small fee of $150, we’ll come right to your door! This fee helps cover transportation costs, allowing us to direct more resources toward our mission of building safe and affordable homes for families in need.

The $150 fee can be paid via e-transfer to accounting@habitathm.ca, or in person at one of our four ReStore locations after receiving your confirmation. Just include your confirmation ID, and once payment is received, our team will schedule your pick-up.
