The Athens Habitat ReStore offers FREE pick up services of your furniture and donated items. By contributing to the Athens Habitat ReStore, you’ll know that your donation is going to help others in your community. Request a ReStore pick-up by calling (706) 354-0936 from 9 AM to 5 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Because all donations are offered for sale with proceeds helping to build homes for families, all items must be clean, complete, and in working order. We cannot accept unsalable items or anything we would have to pay to dump. Below is our helpful guide to what items we can and cannot accept.
Please note: We no longer sell clothes but we do accept donations of clothing which we pass on to a resale & recycle organization.
