Donate Your Unwanted Electronics & Metal
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati’s recycling efforts don’t stop with the donated appliances, furniture, cabinets and other home materials. HFHGC has partnered with other organizations to recycle electronics and metals.
Just drop off any of the items listed below at our three Ohio or Bellevue KY ReStore locations during operating hours.
Note that we are unable to accept materials that are rusted, sharp, or otherwise unsafe to handle.
Donors are responsible for removal of all personal data from electronics before dropping off at one of our ReStores. Removing the hard drives is generally recommended.
Florence ReStore is unable to accept metal or electronics recycling.

Along with providing this valuable service to the community, Habitat for Humanity ReStores are diverting thousands of tons of usable items from local landfills by giving them a second life. Based on the sanitation industry’s standard formula for calculating how much material is being diverted, HFHGC ReStores diverted approximately 1,419 tons of material . . . over 2.8 million pounds last year — up over 155 tons from the previous year!
