Want to Donate Furniture or Household Items?

Bring them to the Dorchester Habitat ReStore in Summerville, or book a free pickup for large items. Proceeds from sales go toward building and repairing homes for families in Dorchester County.

What Can I Donate?

Gently used furniture, appliances, home décor and building materials, plus cabinets, countertops, kitchen and bath fixtures, doors, windows, electrical and lighting, plumbing, hardware, functioning HVAC and AC, new carpet and tile, books and clothing, among other items. See our full Donation Guidelines.

What Can’t the ReStore Accept?

Examples: mattresses, box springs and waterbeds; ripped, stained, soiled or particle-board furniture; entertainment cabinets; baby car seats, cribs and strollers; anything with mold or strong odors; paint and hazardous materials; console TVs and tube TVs over 19 inches; water heaters; and weapons. The full list is in our Donation Guidelines.

Where and When Can I Drop Off?

At the ReStore, 101 Greyback Road, Summerville, SC 29483, during store hours: Monday through Saturday, 9am to 7pm, closed Sunday. Drop-offs are the fastest way to give and are encouraged whenever possible. If you are bringing a full load late in the day, check with us first through the contact page so the donation team can receive it before closing.

How Does Free Pickup Work?

Pickup is free for Dorchester County residents with items too large for their vehicle. When you book, you add photos so we can evaluate your items and choose a morning (9am to noon) or afternoon (1pm to 4pm) window. A confirmation email follows within an hour, and the driver calls 10 to 15 minutes ahead.

To schedule a free pickup, use the Book Now button under Schedule A Pickup on our ReStore page.

Are Donated Items Tax Deductible?

They can be. Donated goods are generally deductible only if you itemize, and the deduction rests on the item’s fair market value, which you, not the ReStore, determine; other IRS eligibility and limitation rules apply, including its acknowledgment, reporting and appraisal thresholds. The new 2026 deduction for people who do not itemize covers cash gifts only. Our receipt describes what you donated and carries no dollar value. This is general information, not tax advice: see IRS Publications 526 and 561, or ask a tax professional.
