Schedule a Pick-up

The Habitat OC ReStores offer a pick-up service for multiple large item donations that meet our guidelines. All items must be on a ground level and in good, clean, and resaleable condition. In order to make our pick-up service cost effective, we do ask for a voluntary monetary donation to help offset costs associated with providing the service. Please plan ahead as we are scheduling pick-ups about 7 days in advance.
