Community Forklift is a 40,000 square foot self-serve reuse center. We do not have an inventory list, so you will need to visit in-person to see if a specific item is in stock. Thousands of items come in and out of the warehouse each week, so remember: if you see something you like today, act fast because it may be gone tomorrow!
In addition to the materials in our warehouse, we sell some specialty items online. Shop our online stores anytime from the comfort of your home to find designer lighting and antique furniture, unique architectural salvage, modern & antique tools and hardware, home decor and funky gifts, vintage bathroom fixtures, high-end and commercial appliances, and hard-to-find parts.
All sales are final, so please inspect items carefully before you check out! Our Reuse Associates will be happy to open sealed boxes or paint cans for you so that you may look at the item before you purchase it.
The only exception to this rule is for appliances, radiators, ceiling fans, and designated machines, which come with a 21-day return policy. You may return one of these items for any reason, but to receive your refund, you must bring your receipt AND the item back to the store within 21 calendar days after date of purchase.
Also, reconditioned appliances from our consignment partner may come with a longer warranty – please click here for details.
You must load your own purchases. Unfortunately, Community Forklift staffers and volunteers are not able to help load items into your vehicle at this time.
However, after you have purchased your item(s), we do offer 5 days of free storage for many large items. This will give you time to round up friends or hire folks to help you move, to borrow or rent a truck, etc.
The only large items we are not able to store for a week are lumber and masonry. You must remove lumber from our warehouse at the time of purchase. Masonry (bricks, pavers, etc.) can only be stored for 24 hours. So, please bring an appropriate vehicle and enough hands to help you load and transport your purchases safely home.
You may NOT use circular saws, sawzalls, or other power tools on our property or in the parking area across the street.
If you would like to purchase lumber that is too long to fit into your vehicle, please inquire at the desk. Depending on our staffing levels that day, we may be able to provide simple, rough cuts for a minimal fee. However, we do not have the equipment to provide long rips, or detailed cuts for a custom project.
