- Not an option: Habitat for Humanity of Denton County ReStore donation page (1805 Cornell Lane, Denton, TX 76201) lists 'Mattresses and box springs' among the items it does not accept, along with couches and sofas, clothing, used bathtubs and water heaters. Accepted donations are appliances, hard furniture such as dining sets and dressers, building materials, cabinets, lighting, plumbing fixtures, flooring and windows, all in working order. Donations are taken Tuesday-Saturday 9 a.m.-2 p.m. with an attendant; free standard large-item pickup within 2-4 weeks is offered to Denton County residents via the donation hotline (940) 382-8487.
