What happened to the donations Goodwill can’t use or sell?
Goodwill makes every effort to sell donated merchandise we receive at affordable prices in our retail stores. Merchandise that doesn’t sell in our stores is sent to the Goodwill Surplus Store, which offers “last stop” merchandise at low prices. Items that we cannot sell are processed through our recycling/salvage system. Goodwill’s resale efforts keep more than 6.1 million pounds of items out of our landfills every year. Goodwill is the original recycler…saving the earth one donation at a time.
