What are Habitat ReStores and how do they help my community?

The Habitat ReStore is our social enterprise. We accept and resell donations of new and gently used furniture, appliances, décor, and home improvement building materials. All purchases are tax free.

Shopping at a Habitat ReStore is a socially conscious decision. As a non-governmental organization, all funds generated by our ReStore social enterprises help support our operations. It is also an environmentally conscious decision, as much of what is sold is product that is new, gently used or customer returns that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Did you know that since 1991, our ReStores have diverted over 1 billion pounds from the local landfills?

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.

We take your old kitchen donation!

We’re pleased to offer free pickup of your kitchen from your garage or driveway. Alternatively, you can drop off your kitchen donation at a ReStore location.

How to Prepare Your Kitchen for Pickup:

  • Kitchens should be clean, in good condition, and less than 15 years old.
  • Please provide photos when requesting a pickup.
  • Ensure all cabinet doors and hardware are securely attached.
  • For a smooth pickup, have your kitchen ready in your garage or driveway.
  • Please note, we do not accept thermofoil or countertops.

Your satisfaction is important to us! While all sales are final, we are pleased to offer a 30-day return policy on all electronics. Simply bring in the original receipt and pricing tags, and we’ll be happy to process your return. Refunds will be issued using the original payment method for your convenience.

Due to the unique nature of our products, we are unable to offer holds.

We strive to price the new and used donation items we receive at the lowest price if not one of the lowest prices on the market.

We do this by:

  1. Researching how much the items or equivalent items sell for at other retailers, and assessing the condition of each item we receive when we first accept it, and once again when it arrives at a Habitat ReStore location
  2. If we can’t find comparable pricing, we base it on our sales experience, and how in-demand the items are at any given time.-We also base pricing on the volume of specific items we have in stock at each store

No, we price our items accordingly and list the selling price of all items

As a registered charity, items purchased from Habitat ReStore are sales tax exempt.

ReStores are able to provide tax receipts for any donations estimated at a value of $300.00 or more.

We’re delighted to offer tax receipts for donations with an estimated value of over $300 at the time of drop-off. For corporate donations or items picked up, our retail team will assess the value once the items arrive at the ReStore, ensuring a fair and accurate evaluation based on their condition and potential resale value. Please note that our valuation is based on what we believe we can sell the items for, rather than the original purchase price. Factors like the item’s condition, demand, and the time or effort required to sell it may influence this value. We greatly appreciate your generous contributions! 

To receive a tax receipt for a donation dropped off at a ReStore, our team must estimate the value to be over $300. Tax receipts will be provided to the donor at the time of donation, and by signing, the donor agrees to the estimated amount. For corporate and pick-up donations, the value will be determined once the items are received and assessed by our retail team. If you would like a tax receipt at the time of pick-up or would like an evaluation of the donation beforehand, please let us know in advance to ensure a smooth process.
