Whether purging your house while Winter cleaning or updating for the new year, there are a number of resources to help in removing unwanted or unneeded items for the home. For those hoping to recoup some of their investment in furnishings, art, or accessories, consignment centers can be a great option. Instead of having potential buyers come to you as with Craig's List, Woodlands Online, or a garage sale, you can deliver or have your home goods picked-up. Home Consignment Center in Conroe can be contacted at 281-367-0420, and The French Courtyard (also in Conroe) can be reached at 281-363-1800. They will be happy to explain their terms, meet with you to inspect items for consignment, or view them via emailed photos.
If you prefer to donate items, Something Special in Shenandoah (281-292-0443) and the Hand Me Up Shop in Spring (281-367-4942) are wonderful local organizations. Both operations benefit special organizations with Something Special supporting the Montgomery County Women's Center, and the Hand Me Up Shop providing funds for Interfaith of The Woodlands.
Lastly, the end of the year is a great time for "out with the old" appliances and home improvement leftovers. Restore in Conroe (936-441-5888) is a wonderful place that takes building supplies, appliances, and other household goods with sales supporting Habitat for Humanity. You can visit the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Recycling Center in Spring (281-367-7283) to dispose of items not suitable for donation such as paint, stain, fluorescent bulbs, broken appliances and more. Be sure to contact them in advance for hours of operation and applicable disposal fees. Best wishes for a great start to 2017!
