Here are some photos I took on a recent trip out there. Their hours are Tuesday 12-6, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday 10-6, Saturday & Sunday 9-6 (closed Mondays). Community Forklift is about a 15 minute drive to 4671 Tanglewood Drive, Edmonston MD 20781. They let you bring your dog inside to boot.
I have heard some folks complain that prices have gone up in recent years, but it is still a bargain for things for your older home that you simply cannot find elsewhere nearby. The staff is always helpful, the store is well organized, and I find the prices are very good on most things. Come dressed warmly, and be prepared to get a little dirty sifting through their merchandise. Realtime driving directions to Community Forklift, 4671 Tanglewood Dr, Edmonston, based on live traffic updates and road conditions from Waze fellow. Because it is a nonprofit, it is run on a shoestring budget and is essentially a warehouse. This place is huge! Be forewarned though, Community Forklift is not your typical store. For example, they have tons of odd shaped original window replacements, doors in all sizes, sinks from the 1950s, salvaged fence materials, you get the idea. By collecting, donating, and reselling salvaged building materials. We also offer a number of items online in Community Forklift Marketplace, Ebay, and Chairish stores. We carry building materials from every era, as well as modern and vintage tools, hardware, lumber, appliances, architectural salvage and some furniture & decor. Anyone working to maintain the original character of their home or simply fond of antique and re-purposed items would enjoy a visit. Since 2005, Community Forklift has promoted deconstruction in the Washington, DC, area. Community Forklift is a huge self-serve reuse warehouse. While it is not in Brookland, let alone DC, I thought it would be of interest to readers since I have neighbors who ask me where they can find items for their older homes say, for example, turn of the century glass door knobs, or period fire place mantels. We like to re-purpose materials in our projects around the house, and the Forklift is usually our first stop.
Community Forklift is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to reduce landfill waste by salvaging building materials. One of my favorite home improvement destinations is Community Forklift, located near Hyattsville MD.
