About us

Community Forklift is nonprofit thrift store for home improvement and architectural salvage. You can donate renovation leftovers like gently-used or vintage kitchen cabinets, hardware, lumber, & doors. We also accept appliances, landscaping materials, and architectural salvage. We offer a free pickup service, so you'll save on disposal fees. And, of course, you'll receive a tax deduction for donating to our nonprofit program. Or, come shopping at our huge warehouse to save big on building & landscaping supplies. Prices on standard building materials are up to 75% below big box home improvement stores. We're easily accessible from downtown DC - see bus, bike, and driving directions at www.CommunityForklift.org Proceeds go right back into making reuse happen! Our name refers to to our nonprofit mission: we are lifting up DC-area communities by reducing waste; creating green jobs; & making repairs affordable for homeowners, low-income folks, small businesses, and community groups. By donating or purchasing from our organization, you are helping to turn our region's waste stream into a resource stream for the local economy.

It is a nice place to get items for your home. You can find things here that you wouldnt find at a regular hardware store. It is a treasure cove of antique and vintage knick knacks. They are a lot of fun.

I couldn't find that particular wooding siding except at Community Forklift. Their quality, responsiveness, and punctuality were excellent.

This store is perfect for those who do their stuff on their own and does not want anything new. It is a wonderful place and is very friendly. There is no high pressure and are good people. The atmosphere in the place is very friendly. You can just walk around and do what you want to do. We enjoyed dealing with them. It was a very educational experience.
