what not to donate
Sometimes we have to say, “No, thank you.” Some items cost more to transport, repair or refurbish than they can be sold for in our stores, taking money from our mission. Others are not recyclable or contain hazardous waste, and present potential safety issues. Our donation attendants may decline a donation if, in their judgment, it is not in clean, saleable condition. We appreciate your kokua.
It’s best to call (808) 836-WORK (9675) to double-check the acceptability of questionable items.

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. In the year of 2011-2012 Goodwill helped to keep 12.5 million pounds of items out of Hawaii’s landfills.
Goodwill is the original recycler…saving the earth one donation at a time.
