DONATE: Help turn the waste stream into a resource stream for our community — DONATE TODAY! Support Community Forklift’s reuse nonprofit by donating new and gently used building materials and home essentials, donating funds to support our operation, or donating a vehicle.
MISSION: Community Forklift eliminates waste and fosters a healthier environment by recognizing, retaining, and returning the value of used and surplus materials to the community. As a nonprofit reuse warehouse, we collect donations of new and gently used building materials and home essentials and redistribute them to the community for free through our community giving programs and at below market prices through our warehouse store.
Community Forklift is the DC-area’s nonprofit reuse center for home improvement supplies. We collect donations of new and gently used building materials and home essentials and make them available to the community at low cost. We also distribute free materials to nonprofits and neighbors in need, create good green jobs, and educate the public about reuse.
