What is a Habitat ReStore?

Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region operates three ReStores: Peterborough North, Lindsay, and Lakefield. These non-profit stores sell new and gently used building materials, furniture, and home décor. Shopping, donating, and volunteering at ReStores supports affordable homeownership and sustainability by diverting items from landfills. In 2023, Habitat PKR’s ReStores diverted 331,730 items from landfill. They offer free donation pickup for larger items and a free Kitchen and Home Deconstruction service. Each ReStore has a unique inventory, changing daily with new donations from residents and businesses. Expect to find home décor, windows, doors, paint, furniture, hardware, lumber, tools, lighting fixtures, and appliances. Every purchase helps improve lives and benefits the community and environment.

Donation Drop Off

Please bring your donation to your closest ReStore during our opening hours. When you donate to the Habitat ReStore, you will receive a voucher for 25% off your next ReStore purchase! Please note that all donations must be in good condition (free of stains, rips, tears, etc.) and from a smoke-free home. Please scroll down to the bottom of this page for more information on which items the Habitat ReStore gladly accepts and which items we’re unable to accept.

Donation Pick-Up Request

If you are unable to bring your donated items to the ReStore, we can arrange a pick-up at your business, home, or office for FREE. We will also pick up family estates. To request a pick-up, you can contact our Procurement Department by calling 705-652-0552 or by emailing donate@habitatpkr.ca with photos of the items you wish to donate with your name and address.
