What happens to the donations Goodwill can use or sell?
Goodwill is able to accept most donations except those items listed on the Donate to Goodwill page. We use a quality inspection process to determine what merchandise we can sell within our Good Neighbor Centers or whether it will be sold through our clearance outlets and then through our post-retail recycling program. We receive more than 100,000 donations each year and through our recycling efforts keep five million pounds out of our landfills each year.
