About This Location

The Habitat ReStore at 104 Robin Hood Drive is Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity's only Franklin County location — a volunteer-powered donation drop-off and resale store that keeps reusable furniture, appliances, building materials, cabinetry, and household goods out of the landfill. The store is open Wednesday through Sunday for shopping, with separate donation-lane hours for drop-offs, and offers free pickup for large or bulk donations. Because Green Mountain Habitat receives no funding from Habitat for Humanity International, every dollar raised here stays local and funds affordable homes across Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, and Lamoille counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Swanton ReStore's shopping and donation hours?

Shopping hours are Wednesday–Friday 9:00 AM–3:00 PM and Saturday–Sunday 9:00 AM–4:00 PM. The donation lane has separate hours: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, and Thursday and Saturday 9:00 AM–2:00 PM. The store is closed Monday and Tuesday.

Is this a drop-off recycling center or a resale/donation store?

It is a donation resale store (ReStore) run by Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity, not a municipal recycling drop-off. It takes donations of reusable furniture, appliances, building materials, and household goods and resells them, diverting usable items from the landfill — but it does not accept paper, glass, or metals for curbside-style recycling.

Do they accept electronics, and how old can they be?

Yes, as donations, but they must be less than five years old and in working order — cameras, laptops, tablets, flatscreen TVs, stereo equipment, and DVD/VHS players.

Is there a pickup service for large furniture or bulk donations?

Yes. Green Mountain Habitat offers free pickup for large or bulk donations from residential properties. Schedule by calling (802) 857-5296 x4 or using the online form. Note the store does not deliver purchases.
