Ways to Reduce or Reuse
If your item is in good condition, consider donating it to a local charity, such as the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Habitat ReStore accepts functioning toilets, sinks, vanities, light fixtures, home decor, hardware, and doors in good condition. Items should be fully functional with no chips or cracks, and all hardware included. Remove any nails or screws.
Note: Habitat ReStore DOES NOT accept tubs or faucets. Call ahead to confirm if your item can be accepted.
