Making a Materials Donation

 

The ReStore accepts both new and used building materials that are in good, useable condition. We offer a limited collection service in the Crestone/Baca area and welcome drop-off donations at our location.  Please be aware that all donations are subject to approval upon visual inspection by our staff.

You can donate your materials by doing any of the following:

Arrange for a Collection - Call Bill Sitkin at 256-5291 to arrange for our collection crew to pick up your materials. Collections are generally scheduled up to two weeks in advance, but our staff will do our best to accommodate special requests.

Walk-in - You can drop off your donation at any time during our receiving hours.  Please remember that items are accepted only at our staff's discretion based on our need for the item(s) and condition. Please contact us in advance if you have questions about your specific items.
