Boston Building Resources operates a nonprofit Reuse Center that accepts donated building materials and selected household items in good condition. Donation categories include appliances that meet age and working-condition requirements, tile in sufficient quantities, and a wide variety of reusable home-improvement materials. The organization offers scheduled drop-off, paid pickup, deconstruction services and commercial-donation options, making it especially useful for estates that include renovation materials, fixtures or reusable property from a home.

All donations are accepted at staff discretion, and donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment and review the current donation guidelines before arriving. Items that are damaged, obsolete or outside the center’s handling criteria may be refused. Save a trip! Call Boston Building Resources Reuse Center first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
