Recycle
Give Your Things New Purpose
We help keep millions of pounds of unwanted items out of landfills each year.
From Goodwill’s inception in 1902, we’ve been a national pioneer of “green” business practices. Locally, Southern Oregon Goodwill diverts millions of pounds of refuse from landfills by recovering the value of unwanted goods. Every time you shop or donate at Goodwill, you’re helping to protect our planet.
Reduce
By making donating convenient and easy, we reduce the number of materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Find a donation location.
Reuse
Your donated items are resold to sustainability-minded and bargain-motivated shoppers at our retail stores and as-is outlets throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California. Find a retail store.
Recycle
What isn’t in sellable condition, we disassemble and separate to sell to reputable recyclers or salvage buyers nationwide. These sales result in more funding for our local job-readiness and training programs.
Annual Recycling Impact
Each year, we move millions of pounds of unwanted clothes and bedding — as well as hundreds of thousands of pounds of books, shoes, toys, and metals — through donation centers and onto other recyclers. The revenue we generate from recycling these goods makes a big impact on our job development programs and services we offer our program participants.
