Restore is Movin’ On Up
by Peggy Berg
Atlanta’s Habitat for Humanity has a new facility for ReStore. It’s at 271 Chester Ave SE, just six blocks east of where Boulevard crosses Memorial.
ReStore collects donations of furniture, appliances, home décor, cabinetry, sinks, flooring, construction materials, lighting and more. All proceeds support Habitat, which builds quality affordable green homes in partnership with working families.
ReStore will send a truck for free to pick up large materials. All donations should be in new or gently used condition.
Whether you’re buying or selling, this approach is an effective form of recycling’ this agency estimates that it has kept over 8,500 tons of materials out of landfills.
The store is open to the public at 271 Chester Ave SE Monday through Saturday 10:30 am – 5:30 pm.
Volunteers are greatly appreciated.
You can reach ReStore for pick-up or with questions about materials or volunteering at 404.525.2114 or http://www.atlantahabitat.org/restore
