    we have a used oven/stove we are not using. It works and could use a good home…. Also we are looking for a washer.

    I can bring tool donations to the Concord Restore on Wednesday, 6/3/2020. Is there a particular drop off area?

    Excellent! The ReStore Concord donation area is behind the store. If you drive by with ReStore on your right, then pass Pins and Pizza, it will be a right turn then another right turn. You will see a sign on the right that says “Donations”. Please don’t hesitate to ask our staff if you’re having any trouble locating it. Thanks for thinking of ReStore for your donation!

    Wonderful! You can drop off your donation at one of our stores or request a free donation pickup online.

    ReStore carries a variety of washers, but our inventory is always changing, so we request that you visit our stores in person to see what we have in stock. You can find a store near you on our locations page.

    I’m glad ReStore is reopen! When do you expect to resume free donation pickups? I have a brand new couch from Article.com, still in the box, that I would like to donate.

    I have a craftsman table saw rarely used, and a new plastic awning kit still in the box. Do you take these and can I drop them off? Also do you take exercise equipment. Also in excellent condition?

    Hi Beverly,

    ReStore does accept power tools and exercise equipment in good condition, however it is up to our donations staff to decide. You can find the donation drop-off hours for all three of our stores here.

    Unfortunately, ReStore cannot accept mattress donations, or pickup mattresses for recycling. If you can drop the mattress off at ReStore Oakland at 9235 San Leandro Street, we would gladly accept it for recycling at no cost to you.

    I would like to donate a floor lamp, pots, pans and some small appliances and some baby items like toys and rocker etc. Are you accepting these and can you pick up these from my home.
    I also have almost new sofa sleeper in excellent condition, barely used but not sure if you are accepting it at this time. Please let me know what items are okay for you to pick up.
    Thank you.

    Hi there,
    My storage company’s movers can only drop off at 8AM. Would it be possible to leave a barely used bed frame for donation and a mattress for recycling at the front door?
