Habitat ReStore - Irondale, Alabama

Habitat ReStore in Irondale is a nonprofit reuse store that sells donated building materials, furniture, appliances, and household goods at low prices. It’s part of the Habitat for Humanity network, and all sales go toward funding affordable housing in the Birmingham area. The store is open to the public and has a self-service salvage section for construction materials like lumber, doors, windows, and fixtures. Unlike auto salvage yards, it focuses on reusable items rather than scrap metal or car parts. Contractors, DIYers, and bargain shoppers often find good deals here.

What You’ll Find & How It Works

Habitat ReStore isn’t an auto salvage yard—it’s a home improvement reuse center. The store carries donated and surplus items, including:

Building materials (lumber, plywood, drywall, roofing)
Doors, windows, and hardware
Appliances (refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers)
Furniture (tables, chairs, dressers)
Lighting fixtures and electrical supplies
Cabinets and countertops
Tools and hardware

Most items are self-service—browse the warehouse, pick what you need, and check out at the front. Prices are marked on items, and staff can answer questions about condition. If you’re looking to sell an old car, check out local junkyards in Birmingham instead. Sales support Habitat for Humanity’s work on affordable housing. The store also hosts occasional DIY workshops, often led by volunteers.
