Durango has nine secondhand stores we could confirm, and they are not all the same kind of shop. Some are charity thrift stores where most items cost a few dollars. Others are consignment boutiques that pay you for clothes you no longer wear.

Where should you go for furniture and building materials?
Start with the ReStore at 50 Design Center Road. Habitat for Humanity's store takes donations and sells to the public, and it is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 970-382-9931. The ReStore warns that pickups are often booked up to two weeks out, so plan ahead if you are clearing a house. Dunn Deal also carries vintage furniture, couches, dressers and cleaned used mattresses.
Where do you find outdoor gear secondhand?
Dunn Deal, at 3101 Main Avenue, is the place to look. Its listing names used and cleaned outdoor gear, camping and sporting goods, outerwear, boots, hand and power tools, and musical instruments. It is open every day, with shorter hours on Sunday. In a town that lives outside, a cleaned used tent or pair of boots goes a long way.
Which shops pay you for your clothes?
Three of them. Second Time Around calls itself the oldest consignment shop in Durango, in business since 1977, now at 1139 Main Avenue. NoMAD asks consignors to drop off their top five resale items. Lizard Head Trading Company says it pays cash for clothes the same day. Rose Duds focuses on name-brand and designer pieces.
Where can you donate?
- Methodist Thrift Shop. Donation hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. After-hours bins sit behind the shop and at Summit Church, 2917 Aspen Drive. Proceeds support local nonprofits and emergency assistance.
- La Plata County Humane Society. It takes gently used items, working electronics and estate inventory. Proceeds go to shelter pets. Members save 10%.
- Goodwill. Its website lists in-store donations and free computer recycling.
- ReStore. Furniture, appliances and building materials, with pickups by appointment.
Rules differ from shop to shop, so ask what each one accepts before you load the car.
Where does the money go?
Charity shops differ here. The Methodist Thrift Shop has operated for more than 50 years, and its page lists the groups its proceeds support, including the Adaptive Sports Association, the Durango Community Shelter, Project Linus, Tri-County Head Start and the Community Treehouse. The Humane Society says all proceeds from its thrift store go to the shelter pets next door, and calls donations tax-deductible. Ask for a receipt if you plan to claim a deduction, and check with a tax professional about what qualifies. Goodwill, the ReStore and the consignment shops each work differently, so read their pages.
