Tool Inventory

  • Membership Dues

    Membership dues are collected annually from agencies who wish to borrow blue tools from the Atlanta Community ToolBank.  These dues are based on the agency’s annual budget per this chart.

Pay Membership Dues

  • Order Tools

    Tool pickups and returns are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Tool orders should be placed no less than two business days prior to the requested pickup. Please note that an appointment is not scheduled until a staff person confirms. Click here for step by step instructions on how to place a tool order.

Order Tools

  • Fee Information

    Tool handling fees are due at tool order pick-up. Fees may be paid by credit card, check (made payable to Atlanta Community ToolBank) or cash,  however, if paying with cash please make sure to have exact change as we do not keep a cash box on site for security reasons. If an agency has a balance due on their account,  they will not be able to borrow tools again until the balance is paid.

Summary of Fees

  • Schedule Tool Return

    If an agency does not set up a return appointment at the time of order pickup, they must schedule an appointment no less than one business day before the requested return.  Returns are by APPOINTMENT ONLY and the appointment isn’t scheduled until it is confirmed by an Atlanta Community ToolBank staff member. Appointments are usually available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.  Saturday Access appointments may be available by request at a rate of $50 per half hour. To schedule a return appointment, please contact Chad Pickett at chad.pickett@toolbank.org or at (404) 254-0938.

    NO APPOINTMENT ACCESS PROGRAM: The No Appointment Access Program is a fee-based access program during normal business hours for member agencies returning tool orders without a scheduled appointment or returning tool orders 15 minutes past their scheduled tool order return appointment, without notifying the Atlanta Community ToolBank. If access is available and approved by a ToolBank staff member, the member agency may choose to return tools at that time for a fee of $20.00 or schedule a future tool order return appointment at no cost.
