If you are planning any renovations this year there are several organizations out there that will come and pick up working appliances, kitchen cabinetry and other salvageable building materials. Habitat for Humanity ReStore located at 7770-G Richmond Highway (behind Gold’s Gym), Alexandria, VA 22306 will gladly accept gently-used materials for resale. Visit their website at www.habitatnova.org/restore/ to learn more about usable and unusable donation items. You can then email them at restoreinfo@habitatnova.org or call 703.360.6700 to schedule a pick-up. All the proceeds are used by Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia to build affordable homes for families in need. All donations are tax deductible.
Another organization that accepts donations is Community Forklift located in Hyattsville, MD in PG County. Community Forklift is a project of Sustainable Community Initiatives, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Visit their website, www.communityforklift.com, to learn more about them and the items they are currently accepting. They work in connection with an environmentally friendly trash hauler, Junk in the Trunk, who has very competitive rates compared to other junk haulers. “JITT” will take your donation to Community Forklift, dispose of any rejected items and give you the tax deduction letter. Visit their website at www.JITT.com or call 202.667.JITT.
