Did you know that Habitat for Humanity Calgary operates a store that accepts donations of used furniture, appliances, and building supplies - and then sells them for excellent prices? (All proceeds support the operations of Habitat for Humanity Calgary.)They also accept donations of kitchen cabinets, windows and doors - and will provide tax receipts for these goods. In some instances, they will have their own team come in and remove the cabinets at no charge. This is a great idea as it both supports an important not-for-profit and saves you labour costs.
"The Habitat for Humanity ReStore sells quality, new and used furniture, appliances and building materials to the public at greatly reduced prices.
All products are donated by local people or businesses keeping useful items out of the landfill.
100% of ReStore proceeds cover Habitat Calgary’s administration costs ensuring that all donations to Habitat go directly to the construction of affordable homes for families in need."
I'm already a supporter of this organization, and suggest to clients that they consider the above when renovating their homes.
