Turning the waste stream into a resource stream for local communities
Carpet suppliers sometimes offer us very nice surplus carpet. We haven’t been able to accept much because it comes in rolls that are hundreds of feet long, and we just weren’t able to handle it. However… thanks to all the wonderful Forklift Fans who shop and donate with us, we finally raised enough funds to buy a carpet-cutting machine! We set it up in our processing warehouse, and have been busy cutting beautiful carpet into sizes that are useful in homes.
To celebrate, we’re having a carpet sale!. Take 25% off the marked prices on carpet and rugs, including bargain rolls priced at $10 AND surplus wool carpet rolls.
Some exclusions apply. Items with missing or damaged tags will not be sold. This sale does NOT include carpet with missing or damaged price tags, select specialty items, items from our consignment partners, items listed online, tile or other types of flooring. May not be combined with other sales.
We’re so excited that Community Forklift is a finalist in the eBay Shine Awards for Small Business! Please cast your vote each day from now through July 14th to help us win up to $10,000 and other prizes that can help us do more good in the DC area.
Thinking about checking out our furniture and carpet sale this weekend (June 24 & 25)? Pick up chairs at a bargain, and use paint to transform them into a bohemian or farmhouse style!
(Oops paint is $5 a gallon, and chairs start at just $2.50 during the sale!)

In addition to sweet old wood chairs, we get a lot of metal and plastic chairs. But never fear – they have upcycling potential, too!

Hi Forklift Fans! We know it’s hot, but you’ll want to grab your reusable water bottle and come over to the ‘Lift anyhow. We’ve had some great donations recently, and wanted to share a sampling to try to tempt you into visiting…
We have wide selection right now. There are still a few of the bargain rolls that came from an event planning company. They are all approximately 10′ to 12′ square, were only used for a few days at a trade show, and are just $10 each.
We also have thicker carpet in a variety of sizes and colors, including surplus carpet, and wool carpet leftover from a remodel at a high-end hotel. Price varies based on size and quality.
We have tons of cabinet sets at the moment, and more expected to arrive this week. It’s a wider selection than usual, so if you’re planning a kitchen remodel, now is a good time to visit! Remember, you can store cabinets after you buy them – you have 7 days after purchase to rent a truck or round up friends to help you load.
With the temperatures going up, we’ve been getting a lot of calls about air conditioners. We do have some window units right now, but they’re flying out the door very quickly! Most are priced between $50 and $95 depending on size and age. We’ve tested them, but if you have any issues, they can be returned within 3 weeks with receipt.
We still have some of these beautiful room dividers – perfect for an efficiency or loft apartment! Including the supports, these panels measure 52″ wide and 8′ tall. The support mounts can be adjusted a bit to attach to different ceiling heights, though your ceiling must be at least 93″ high. They are $295 each.
This sale does not include select specialty items, items with missing or damaged price tags, bathroom cabinets or other built-ins, workbenches or tool stands, items from our consignment vendors or items listed online. This sale may not be combined with other offers.
Remember, if you can’t make it out to see us, you can also visit our eBay and Etsy stores for some great finds. Proceeds support our work to lift up DC-area communities through reuse.
The sale includes modern AND vintage appliances including washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, fridges, and microwaves with blue or orange tags. We usually have a variety of basic, high-end, and even some commercial appliances.
Please note: this sale does NOT include water heaters, window air conditioners, other heating and cooling equipment, items listed on eBay or Etsy, appliances from our ALCO consignment partner, select specialty items, or items with missing or damaged price tags. May not be combined with other sales.
