The mission and intent of Goodwill Industries is to provide a good charitable service for its local community. I get that and I commend them for it. What I don't agree with is offering people local garbage and calling it a "bargain". A Bargain; 2. a thing bought or offered for sale more cheaply than is usual or expected. "the secondhand table was a real bargain" synonyms: good buy, cheap buy; (good) value for money, surprisingly cheap; informalsnip, steal, giveaway. There's very little to no value in most of the items that are displayed in large blue troughs. It's sad really. I work in the waste industry and I believe in recycling and reusing as much as possible. However what I witnessed in this place is neither of those based upon items discovered and uncovered as you'll see in the photos I am submitting. If they would take the time to sort inbound items a bit better perhaps people's experience wouldn't be so terrible. I believe Goodwill Industries can do much better in the future. read more
