Grand Opening July 16, 2010!

Do you have kitchen cabinets, windows, doors or working appliances that you are replacing or leftover building materials from a project you have completed?  Rather than hauling these to a landfill or dump, there is a better way to dispose of them that is a win-win situation.

Habitat for Humanity of Geauga County is planning on opening a Habitat ReStore center that will accept these types of items and resell them to the public at a fraction of their original cost.  Individuals homeowners, contractors and businesses can donate items to the Restore, often qualifying for a tax deduction (please consult your tax advisor).  ReStore then sells these items to the public at typically 50 to 75% less than new retail price.  Rather than ending up in our landfills, these materials are reused and recycled. The proceeds from these sales are used to partner with hardworking Geauga county residents in need of affordable housing.  For additional information call the ReStore at (440) 564-7475.

The location of the Restore facility is the old Chandler Tree business property on Rt. 87 just east of St. Helen’s church and just west of Rt. 44.  The target opening date is July 2010.

An example of items accepted for donation and sale are:

Doors Appliances (less than 7 years old /working condition) Electrical (fuses, breakers, etc.) Flooring: tile, new carpet, padding, wood, laminate  Hardware (hinges, bolts, door knobs, screws, nails, etc.) Insulation Lawn tools Lumber Furniture Windows/Screens Roofing Siding Shingles
