What donations does Goodwill need the most?

Goodwill Industries is looking for any of the following items that are in clean, saleable condition:

  • Women’s, men’s and children’s clothing
  • Kitchen and household items
  • Dishes, pots & pans, cooking & serving containers
  • Shoes and boots
  • Books
  • Linens and domestic items
  • Stuffed animals
  • Collectibles

“Clean and saleable” means you would give it to a good friend. There are exceptions regarding certain items. Please call (808) 836-WORK (9675) for additional information.

Are there any items Goodwill does not accept?

Goodwill cannot use or cannot accept and therefore declines donations of the following items:
All Manufacturer-Recalled Products
Hazardous Waste: Chemicals Paints Poisons Oils Cleaning Products Compressed Air/Gas Containers (including SCUBA tanks)
Contact your local Transfer Station for disposal information.
Electronic Equipment: Computers, including laptops Computer Peripherals – Monitors, Mouse, Keyboards, Webcams, Printers, Scanners, Toners Major Appliances – Stoves, Refrigerators, Washers, Dryers, Water Heaters TVs Fax Machines Copy Machines Vacuum Cleaners (acceptable if dust bag has been removed) Exercise Machines VCR & DVD Players (not accepted in Hilo only) Stereos & Speakers (not accepted in Hilo only) Telephones & Cell Phones (not accepted in Hilo only) Gaming Consoles & Electronic Game Cartridges (not accepted in Hilo only)

Why can’t Goodwill use these items? Some items cost more to transport, repair or refurbish than they can be sold for in our stores, taking money away from our mission. Others are not recyclable or contain hazardous waste, and present potential liability issues.  In general, hazardous waste and items requiring repair, assembly or cleaning cannot be accepted.

It’s best to call (808) 836-WORK (9675) to double-check the acceptability of questionable items.
