10 Items You Will Not Find At The Goodwill Here in Texas!

Yes, there are some items you should not take to the Goodwill Stores here in Texas. Why? Because they won't accept them! This is the time of the year when we start going through our stuff to either give away or donate. And of course, an awesome place to donate is to your local Goodwill Store. Not only are you giving to those who may be able to use your stuff, but you're also giving to the mission of Goodwill.

• GOODWILL DOES NOT ACCEPT ALL ITEMS

Yes, it is awesome to donate your items to Goodwill to further their mission, but Goodwill does not accept all items.

Some items [are refused] for being non-recyclable or containing hazardous materials. Other times, the item must be refused because it costs more to transport, repair or refurbish than it can be sold for in our stores.

#2 • WATER BEDS

#3 • SLEEPER SOFAS/HIDEAWAY BEDS
