GREENSBORO, N.C. — Clearing out the closets, basement, attic, garage. You name it, people have been doing it since they’ve been at home during Covid-19. Goodwill Industries is ready to take your donations and keep you safe. And if you’ve been at home due to a job lay-off, they can help with that too. Their Career Services Program can help you with your resume, online interviews, and even job fairs.
Donations:
No contact drop-off. Just put your donations into the bins. Once the donations are in there, they are quarantined for several days before workers are able to go through them and sanitize them to get them out to the floor.
Donation Do's & Don'ts. You can't donate those old tube TV's. No one will buy them, so Goodwill no longer takes them. Also, believe it or not, Goodwill doesn't take pets. You can't drop off your couch and an unwanted pet at the same time.
Shopping:
Shoppers are encouraged to wear masks and there are X’s on the ground outside and inside the store to help with social distancing.
E-waste Donations: Got old computers, keyboards, any kind of e-waste? Bring it to Goodwill and they will clean off your information and then either recycle the parts or refurbish the items for others to use.
