To Donate Materials

Everything for sale at Community Forklift has been donated by homeowners, contractors, companies, or other individuals like you!

We really appreciate it when you are able to drop off materials at our warehouse. If you are able to bring us your donation, please read our donation guidelines.

Where?

Our warehouse address is 4671 Tanglewood Drive, Hyattsville, MD. Check out the "directions" section of our website for detailed directions.
When you arrive, please park on Tanglewood Drive in front of the door labeled number 3, then come inside to find a staff member to help you unload and fill out your tax deduction letter.

What Will We Accept?

Community Forklift's primary focus is building materials; that is, the items you would find at a hardware store or home improvement center. We reserve the right to accept or reject items on a case-by-case basis, depending on their condition and on how many items we already have in that category. The list of acceptable items may change at any time. We do not have a dumpster for general use, so unfortunately you are unable to leave rejected items with us.

The following list gives you some guidelines for donations. Note that we may be more flexible about damage or cleanliness if it is a beautiful antique or very valuable item. This list is subject to change at any time. If you're worried that we may not accept something you'd like to donate, you can email a photo of it to info@communityforklift.com or call the warehouse at 301-985-5180. Thanks in advance for donating to us!

Remember:
  • Salvaged = used
  • Surplus = new, complete with all parts, never been used or installed
