Embrace responsible resource use and protect our planet for future generations. Sustainability means reducing waste, conserving water, recycling, and caring for the environment.
Habitat ReStore’s Commitment to Green Living
Whether you’re remodeling, cleaning, downsizing, or organizing, don’t let unwanted items end up in landfills. Habitat ReStores keep tons of waste out of landfills each year by accepting items that are hard to dispose of, like furniture, appliances, and building materials. We even offer free pick-up services for larger items.
Make a Positive Impact by Donating and Shopping at Habitat ReStore
By donating or shopping at a Habitat Heartland Ontario ReStore, you contribute to solving the climate crisis. Save money, find unique treasures, and support the construction of Habitat Homes in your community while helping the environment.
Impressive Environmental Contributions
In 2019, we sold 2,363 living room items, reducing our carbon footprint by an estimated 147tCO2e—the equivalent of 33 round-trip flights from Toronto to Hong Kong. Did you know the average sofa requires 11 materials and three manufacturers to produce? We must change our habits to avoid running out of landfill space in 11 to 14 years.

About Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario
Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario is a charitable organization dedicated to building strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership. Serving the regions of London, Middlesex, Oxford, Elgin, Brant, Norfolk, and Perth, the organization works alongside volunteers, donors, and community partners to create safe and affordable housing for families in need. By providing a hand-up rather than a hand-out, Habitat empowers families to break the cycle of poverty through sustainable homeownership. In addition to building homes, Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario also operates ReStores, where donated new and gently used items, such as furniture, appliances, lighting fixtures, décor, building materials, tools, electronics and more, are sold to fund building projects and support local communities.
