RANT...Figured I would give them a second chance, but this location/workers are horrible!!…read more They didn't want to accept my area rug that was rolled and tied neatly, nor did they want to take another small item. Granted today, April 3 at around 1pm there were two trucks there. One truck was probably 1/2 full and the other truck quite empty. Are they lazy, uninformed on what to receive? This older Filipino man needs to learn customer service!! They rather sit outside with their loud music blasting! Oh I almost forgot to mention, that he told me to go to Savers or throw it away. Just by chance I was at Safeway in Kapolei and noticed another Green Drop truck, so I went there. There was a Caucasian man who was extremely polite and thanked me, and welcomed my donated items. He went above and beyond and I give him 5 stars.

The moment to give…read more.. I do go through phases and though each item does have it's place there are time to separate and hope that other will love them as much as I did. GreenDrop is a phenomenal place to do so as it will go to such great cause and this Ka Makana Alii location is a bit separated from the mall and is found sharing the lot with Wendy's. They do take lunch breaks which I did happen upon at other locations but they usually do have a green bin to drop your item off if that's the case though not sure if they'll do so at this location just be mindful of the time you do your drop off. There is a staff that will happily take your items which make the process so quick and easy will keeping items out of the landfill which may find happy homes that is a win win situation on these pricey times to share and keeping Hawai'i green. Thank you!

Parting ways... This…read moreWaipahu Salvation Army was an unexpected stop but since I was in the area I did a search and was surprised to see that they have one in this location. Not the largest space but with some parking for convenience along with donation drop off in the back was questionable as the staff was nowhere to be found as I had to walk up the steps and literally walk in to give them my items and that's all I had to say about it sadly. What's worse is their thrift store which don't get me wrong is nicely organized with decent amount of clothing and a few furniture but that's about it very little inventory and it felt like the leftover from other thrift shops many of the various items was bad as I was searching for items to purchase but it seems like this location is very much in need for donations. Thank you!

Purging, recycling, donating, and reusing in Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. In an attempt to place all GreenDrop locations on the Yelp map, I drove way out to this pod... This smaller donation site is stationed in the shared parking lot with Kentucky Fried Chicken, GreenDrop was occupied by a lone female. She was a bit pensive, so I asked if I needed to give her my phone number. She picked up the tablet and said she had to restart it. Hmmm... Eventually, I gave her my phone number where I received an email with the receipt. I can print it out later. There are other GreenDrop locations to discover... it's for a good cause. This Ewa Beach location has United Cerebral Palsy on the side of this pod.

Feeling green... The…read morepositivity kinda vibe of donating for a cause and it's United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawaii and since I was kinda in the area thought it'd be the perfect time to drop some items off and this time majority of them were brand new though to my surprise it was closed! Not sure if the staff went on break or if it was closed for the due to staffing shortage there was no indication for the reason of the closure as it's Sunday 12:58...sigh! Well this Green Drop location is in the lot of Ewa Pointe Marketplace where KFC is the most visible tenant from the street. Not sure when I'll be back in the area again but know that this is a convenient location to conveniently drop off your items at your convenience with lots of free parking. Thank you!

Happy Earth Month…read more.. Impulsive retail therapy eventually does have some consequences and though I do still have difficulty parting with many items that bring me joy it doesn't mean that it will give others joy as well. Savers is here for one of the reasons and knowing that it's going to a good cause does makes me feel better especially as many do shop here for various reasons finding that items does makes it all worth while. They also give you a discount coupon for your donation to which you can shop and find items at an even greater deal with that coupon so it's a win win situation...and yes I do shop and have found items here as well so don't think that you won't it just takes a bit of search and you never know what you'll find. Thank you!

What went well is that I got bouncy balls,cool stuff,and trinkets,and that's all I got to say.read more

Keeping it simple…read more.. A lot easier said than done but I do try to make the choice to part with some gently used items between clothes and household items and had planned my to drop it off and any donation center but had no idea this Waipio Shopping Center had one conveniently right in the parking lot. Mind you it's a very small container and already seen that it was basically almost filled to capacity that even the staff barely had room to sit in to avoid the hot sun. It's nice that they're open every day as my decision to purge are usually on a whim and when I part with item it has to go before I change my mind lol! Staff look hot and I always thank them for accepting my items which gives me peace of mind that it will go into good use. Thank you!

Donation in Waipi'o, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. This is a convenient kiosk-type of structure in the parking lot of Waipi'o Shopping Center. Located across the parking lot from Foodland, this Goodwill Donation Center doesn't have a store attached to it. It's only a drop-off site. It's an open-air, simple process! Service is friendly and helpful! The cheerful man accepted all of my bundles of houseware in a pleasant manner. He offered me a receipt which I gladly accepted! Thank you for your kindness!

Cleaning my aunty's house in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. Located in Waipahu Town Center, this location of Goodwill shares the free parking lot with Longs Drugs Store, Seafood City, and Starbucks. I found a parking space right in front and entered the nicely air-conditioned store. What a relief! The two clerks were assisting customers. I placed my donation in the bin and waited for a receipt. No problem! It's a nice feeling to free up some space in the house and do something good for a charity! Afterward, I browsed around and noted that red tagged items were half off this week. Luckily, I didn't find anything and walked out a happy camper! I wonder if I should go to Goodwill Goes Glam Event this weekend???

Helping Hands was so much closer to where we live compared to Salvation Army or Goodwill. I like that Helping Hands is truly a nonprofit organization because they don't sell your donated goods to the people who need them. People can come get the goods for free at helping hands. Staff were always very friendly and helpful with unloading my car. They are also very good about giving me the tax write off forms. (Salvation Army has you go to a website to get tax form and I couldn't even create an account successfully on the website. Kept getting error message.) Helping hands drop off times are Monday to Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM so the drop off window is pretty limited.

I always refer my clients there to get free household goods such as bedding, pots and pans, dishes, etc. I always drop off my donations there. Every Christmas - they have Adopt A Family and I love seeing our clients get items they wouldn't be able to get for their family since it is so expensive living here in Hawaii. They also have the Ready To Learn program which gives students school supplies for the upcoming year. They have other programs so please donate any household items or give a monetary donation if you are able! Thank you Helping Hands Hawaii!

Love the convenience…read more.. I usually do have a bag of donations in my car as I never know where I'll be in what part of town and luckily this Ewa location was one that was an unexpected find. This Ewa Beach Shopping Center location is an actually mini bus and is parked right beside the gas station there's a huge bin to drop your items but the staff there is cool to helping you with them and is a great spot with lots of free parking just steps away making the process convenient. They are open daily from 9am to 5pm though there are times that the staff are on lunch breaks and not sure if some locations will take them during this time but know that this one is of of my favorites and know when I'm in this remote area where you're able to give. Thank you!

I just want to donate!…read more I was driving around looking for little donation boxes to drop off some items after doing a post winter(?) cleaning. I remember seeing a drop box previously but, for the life of me, I can't remember where. After about 40 minutes of driving around Kapolei and Barber's Point, I ended up in Ewa Shopping Center. Behold! There was a both a Salvation Army and Goodwill donation container. Both containers were closed but, only Goodwill had hours of operation displayed. (I'm use to a secure drop box where you can leave items at any time of the day). I made a note of the times and plan to return during normal business hours.

We brought glass vases, an old Dell printer, stuffed animals, backpacks, school supplies... they will basically take what you give them!
