🔄 The lifecycle of donatable items: how your used goods help the Roseville community
Furniture · appliances · partnerships · second life · environmental benefit
When you set aside a gently used sofa, working refrigerator, or box of books for donation, you're starting a journey that strengthens Roseville.
Local charities, thrift stores, and nonprofits turn your goods into job training, affordable housing, and direct assistance for families in need.
For items that aren't donatable, professional property clean-up
ensures proper recycling. Save our Get US
for donation center locations, and use the Netlify app to prepare items for pickup.
Furniture
Clean, structurally sound sofas, tables, and dressers go to local thrift stores like Roseville Rescue Mission or Habitat ReStore. Unsellable items are often repaired by trainees.
No rips/stains
Appliances
Working refrigerators, stoves, washers are tested, cleaned, and sold at low cost. Non‑working units are recycled for metal, with refrigerants recovered by certified techs.
Working order
Clothing & household
Sorted by quality: premium items go to retail stores, others are sold by the pound or exported. Damaged textiles become industrial wiping cloths.
Clean & dry
Building materials
Habitat for Humanity ReStore accepts cabinets, doors, windows, lighting. They're sold to homeowners and contractors, funding affordable housing.
