GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Some people are using their "stay at home" time to do some spring cleaning. The Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity Restore is asking people to not throw away old appliances, tools or unused materials.
The Restore is closed right now, but they will happily take those items from you when they reopen.
Habitat's Restore takes everything from paint to home decor to cabinets. A donation keeps those items out of landfills.
