What happens to items that are broken or cannot be sold?
Goodwill’s policy is not to accept items that are soiled or in disrepair. However, as part of Goodwill of Greater Washington’s committment to be environmentaly responsible, items that we recieve that cannot be sold in our retail stores for whatever reason, are sold to salvage companies by the pound. This keeps them out of the landfills and still earns revenue to support our training and placement programs for people with disabilities and disadvantages.
