Does Habitat for Humanity pick up refrigerators?

Yes, some Habitat ReStore locations pick up refrigerators, but the rules are local. Greater Albuquerque ReStore lists refrigerators and offers free approved large-item pickup locally. Twin Cities accepts refrigerators that are 10 years old or newer, while Central Arizona requires appliances to be 8 years old or newer, clean and fully working. Confirm your local ReStore’s approval, the refrigerator’s working condition, model or date, dimensions, photos and safe disconnected access before scheduling pickup.

Check the local ReStore rules first

Do not assume a nationwide refrigerator age limit or free pickup. Ask the ReStore serving your area whether it accepts your refrigerator and whether pickup requires approval, photos, access details or other conditions.

Prepare the refrigerator for review and removal

Have the model or date, dimensions and photos ready, and confirm that the refrigerator is clean, complete and working if your local ReStore requires those conditions. Arrange safe electrical and water-line disconnection when needed. Keep the refrigerant circuit intact.
