Goodwill of Maine is Begging You Not to Donate Your Trash
The Sun Journalreports that Goodwill Northern New England has 30 locations and 17 of those are in Maine. Well, those stores had to get rid of a ton of trash to the tune of 1.2 million dollars. What can't Goodwill accept? Goodwill says they are in a tough position. They need those donations, because that's how they exist - but don't have a way to recycle or get rid of things. What are some of the things you can't donate? Some seem pretty obvious: used underwear, car batteries, construction debris, stained carpets oh and throw away that half-empty bottle of shampoo. Also don't bring in auto parts, baby equipment, mattresses, humidifiers, ammunition and damaged furniture. Damanaged furniture...like this treasure.
