HAVE A QUESTION? THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED!

Do you take ______?

We take a variety of items, but if you’re wondering about something specific, check out what we do and do not take here. Still don’t see your item? Check out our What Do I Do With…? section, our Household Chemical Disposal section, or call the store at (406) 541-8300.

I’m looking for this very specific item. Do you know if you have it?

Our inventory changes every day, so we don’t keep track of all the items we have in the store. Your best bet is to stop by and wander around! You can check out this page to see what we generally accept.

I have paint I don’t need anymore. Will you take it?

Yes! We sell lots of paint. There are a few requirements for us to be able to accept it. For latex paint and oil-based paint, is it less than 5 years old? Is the container at least ½ full? Has it ever been frozen? Is the can in good condition without rust? If your paint meets these conditions we’d love to accept it. If it doesn’t we give away free sawdust so you can dry out your latex paint. You can safely dispose of your oil based paints at our Household Chemical facility.

What can I do with my fluorescent lightbulbs?

Home ReSource can take your fluorescent lightbulbs for a fee. Accepted types of bulbs include:

2- and 4-foot Tubes (T5, T8, T12) ($2.50/bulb)

CFLs ($1.50-$2.00/bulb)

U-Bend ($2.50/bulb)

Circle ($2.25/bulb)

All bulbs must be fully intact and not broken to be accepted. Note prices are subject to change based on market fees.

Do you pick up items if I can’t bring them to the store?

Yes! We pickup items within the Missoula area. Please email pickups@homeresource.org or you can call/text 406-880-5555. If you’re not sure we’ll take an item, you can text a photo to the number.

When can I drop off household chemicals?

In the spring, summer, and fall, our facility is open most Mondays. In the winter months we are open one day each month. You can find the schedule on our website and schedule an appointment. If these dates don’t work for you, you can email kalling@missoulacounty.us and schedule an individual time.

I need to do community service. Who do I reach out to?

We love having community service help at Home ReSource. Our Volunteer Manager, Love Wolf, coordinates community service engagement. Her email is love@homeresource.org.

My group/myself/company/organization wants to volunteer. How can I do so?

Yes please! We love having volunteers. You can go to the Volunteer Page on our website to learn more, or email our Volunteer Manager directly to get involved: love@homeresource.org.

How do I reserve the Community Room for my event?

Our Youth Programs Coordinator handles community room reservations. You can email them at learn@homeresource.org.

Why do you open an hour later on Wednesdays?

Each week we take one hour with our staff team to meet. Sometimes we do projects together, and sometimes we have training.

Are you closed for any holidays?

The Home ReSource ReUse store is closed during the following holidays each year:

Can I return an item I’m not happy with?

No. We have a NO RETURNS policy. Since we’re a reuse store we do not guarantee any of the items we sell. You’re welcome to donate back an item if you don’t like it after you buy it.

Will you take my couch?

We do not accept furniture. Our friends at Donation Warehouse love couches and even do free pick-ups.

Are you the place with the tools I can rent?

For tool rental you’re probably thinking of our neighbors, MUD! You can call them at 406-721-7513.
