Salvage Shop Donations

We accept most building materials that are 50 years old or older.

  • Common donations: doors, windows, lighting, trim, plumbing fixtures, hardware, wood flooring, slate, and tile roofing.

  • We also accept rough sawn timbers and masonry (brick and stone), but we don’t keep a large stock of these.

  • Not accepted: appliances and furniture.

  • We do accept hand tools and working power tools for use in deconstruction.

  • Donations must be brought during shop hours. Please do not leave items at the door.

  • We do not offer pick-ups or deliveries at this time.

  • Coming soon: we’ll sell window glazing and sash rope, useful for window restoration and often hard to find locally.
