Just because you don’t want those old kitchen cabinets anymore, doesn’t mean someone else couldn’t use them. Did you know the Edmonton Habitat for Humanity ReStore takes donations of used building materials? They will even come and pick them up! So, instead of throwing your old appliances, cabinets, moldings, doors and windows in the dumpster, call the Restore and have them go to good use (780-471-4909).

    I’d be interested in knowing how much of the profit goes into the hands of management.
