At Goodwill, we make a positive impact on the environment by being proponents and practitioners of re-use. Every year, Goodwill demonstrates social and environmental leadership by implementing strategies that decrease our collective carbon footprint, create jobs for people who need them most, and provide environmentally responsible solutions for businesses and government.
We accept donations of many gently used items that can be reused as intended or in new, creative ways. Earth Day is a reason to clean out closets and get rid of things you don’t need or want any longer. Donate the clean, saleable items to Goodwill, and our stores will sell the merchandise to eco-friendly shoppers who are also passionate about reusing items and diverting them from landfills.”
