ReStore is proud to be a one-stop shop for finding (or getting rid of) home improvement goods! But that means we get a lot of questions from shoppers, donors, and people who've never even heard of ReStore. Here are a few answers to the most common questions about all things ReStore!

Anyone can shop at and donate to ReStore! Our stores are open to the public. We accept a wide variety of home goods of all sizes, so check out our Donation Guidelines or call your nearest ReStore for more information what we accept. Here are our locations within the Twin Cities.
We're glad you asked. ReStore offers a free pickup service in the seven-county metro area for large items or large quantities of items. We also offer priority pickup.
No. In fact, your donation needs to be left outside of the home for pickup. Donors often leave them easily accessible in their garages or driveways.
Note: If you choose Priority Pickup, drivers can retrieve items from a residence or storage unit.
It's simple! You can request a ReStore item donation pickup online.
You can visit restore.tchabitat.org/shop for a list of what type of items you’ll find at ReStore. We get new inventory almost daily! Because we rely on donated items, there's a whole assortment of home goods on our shelves, but some of our most commonly stocked items include the following:
Items can be put on hold for two hours without payment. ReStore doesn't accept returns, so we give you time to be sure that the item will fit in your space. Just ask the cashier for a hold slip to put on the item you're interested in.
ReStore will store your items for three business days. This gives you time to figure out how you are going to get your item home. After three business days, you will be charged a daily $5 storage fee.
