Seattle REconomy has a second use building materials store at the Shoreline Tool Library location. Our goal is to divert materials from the landfill and reduce the consumption of new items. Come in and check out all the amazing materials we have! You can also view some of our larger inventory items on our Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp.
Materials Donations
We accept these categories of high quality, clean materials:
Please fill in the materials donation form with details and photos of the items you wish to donate so we can let you know if we can accept them. We strongly encourage you to drop off donations because our pickup capacity is extremely limited. If you need us to pickup your items, we can coordinate a donation pick up for a fee.
We do not accept materials that are damaged, missing pieces or that need time-intensive assembly or repair. Please do not drop off materials after hours.
