Planning a home renovation? Don’t swing that sledgehammer just yet. Before you start demo day, there’s a smarter, more sustainable and free way to tear out your old cabinets, light fixtures, flooring, and more. It’s called the Harvest Project, and it can save you time, money, and a trip to the dump.
What is the Harvest Project?
The Harvest Project is a free service offered by Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Arkansas. Instead of paying for labor or hauling fees, the Harvest crew will carefully remove reusable materials from your home before your renovation starts. That means less waste, lower costs for you, and materials that go on to help build or fund affordable housing in Northwest Arkansas.
What Can Be Harvested?
- Cabinets & countertops
- Windows & doors
- Light fixtures & ceiling fans
- Plumbing fixtures
- Appliances
- Flooring
Who Benefits from This?
If you’re a homeowner planning a remodel, a real estate investor flipping a property, or a property manager clearing out a unit, you can benefit. The Harvest Project turns your demo into a donation, making your renovation more affordable and more impactful.
How it Works – Simple as Six Steps
- Reach Out – Contact Habitat to discuss your upcoming project.
- Assessment – A Harvest Manager visits to evaluate what can be removed.
- Agreement – A plan is made, and a simple agreement is signed.
- Schedule – Book 1-3 days for the deconstruction.
- Deconstruction – The Harvest crew carefully removes and salvages approved items.
- Donation – Items are transported to ReStore for resale.
Where do Materials Go? ReStore.
Once your items are harvested, they’re donated to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, a nonprofit home improvement store that sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, and building materials to the public at affordable prices. The money raised at ReStore helps fund Habitat’s work building and repairing homes for families right here in our community.
Three Ways You Can Support
- Donate – Renovating or moving? Your old materials could help fund someone’s new beginning.
- Shop – Find high-quality, gently used home improvement items at a fraction of retail cost.
- Volunteer – No experience required – just a willingness to help build a better NWA.
