Boilerpipe Text	What does Goodwill Accept? Goodwill store and donation centers in Greater Milwaukee and Chicago accept a wide variety of items, including: Vehicles—We accept donations of vehicles and boats in all conditions Clothing Shoes and boots Jewelry Hats, gloves, mittens and scarves Books Records CDs and DVDs Laptops Pots and pans Glassware and dishes Utensils and serving ware Small kitchen appliances Home decor Artwork Lamps Games and toys Sporting goods Hand tools and small power tools Linens, curtains, blankets and sheets Flat screen TVs and monitors (no CRTs) CPUs Hard drives VCRs and DVD players Household items Donate your vehicle to Goodwill Find a store and donation center near you What is my donation worth? Use our handy Value Guide to help you determine your donation’s fair market value. Will Goodwill pick up my donation? There are three ways to schedule donation pick ups. Through a partnership with Careasy , Goodwill will pick up vehicle donations Corporate partners can schedule donations directly with us. Donors interested in donation pick up at their home can schedule a pick up with one of our donation pick up partners. Items Goodwill does not accept It's hard to say "no thank you" to a donation when those donations help to fund Goodwill programs. However, we do need to refuse some items for being non-recyclable or containing hazardous materials. Other times, the item must be refused because it costs more to transport, repair or refurbish than it can be sold for in our stores. Our donation attendants are trained to know what we can and cannot accept and will help guide you to other possibilities for donations we cannot use. Although we cannot accept certain items directly, our donation pick up partners allow you to include items such as furniture in your scheduled donation pick up. Our partners will donate these items to other local nonprofits and the rest of your donation will support Goodwill job training and placement programs. Items we are unable to accept include: Large exercise equipment Chairs, stools, or couches Mattresses or bed frames Desks or office furniture Tables Dressers or bookcases Pianos or organs CRT TVs Household chemical items and cleansers, including pesticides, paint, paint thinner and aerosols Automotive hazardous waste such as tires, lead-acid batteries, additives, gasoline, oils, antifreeze, etc. Large appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, stoves/ovens, washers/dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, furnaces, trash compactors, water heaters, large console stereos, freon-based appliances, etc. Personal care items such as shampoo, conditioner, nail polish remover, shaving cream, hairsprays, or shavers Fragrance items Carpet or carpet padding Plumbing fixtures or building materials Traditional recyclables such as glass, newsprint, office paper, cardboard, plastics, magazines, junk mail, etc. Weapons such as guns, bows and arrows, ammunition, etc. Cribs, car seats, walkers or other products that do not meet the current safety standards of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, including recalled items.

Use our handy [Value Guide](https://www.goodwillgreatermc.org/docs/default-source/donations/ret26006_goodwillgreatermc_doanted_value_guide.pdf?sfvrsn=41ca914_3) to help you determine your donation’s fair market value. ## Will Goodwill pick up my donation? There are three ways to schedule donation pick ups. - Through a partnership with [Careasy](https://goodwillsew.careasy.org/home.html), Goodwill will pick up vehicle donations - [Corporate partners](https://www.goodwillgreatermc.org/donate/corporate-donations) can schedule donations directly with us. - Donors interested in donation pick up at their home can [schedule a pick up](https://www.goodwillgreatermc.org/donate/schedule-a-pickup) with one of our donation pick up partners. ## Items Goodwill does not accept It's hard to say "no thank you" to a donation when those donations help to fund Goodwill programs. However, we do need to refuse some items for being non-recyclable or containing hazardous materials. Other times, the item must be refused because it costs more to transport, repair or refurbish than it can be sold for in our stores. Our donation attendants are trained to know what we can and cannot accept and will help guide you to other possibilities for donations we cannot use. Although we cannot accept certain items directly, our [donation pick up partners](https://www.goodwillgreatermc.org/donate/schedule-a-pickup) allow you to include items such as furniture in your scheduled donation pick up. Our partners will donate these items to other local nonprofits and the rest of your donation will support Goodwill job training and placement programs. Items we are unable to accept include: - Large exercise equipment - Chairs, stools, or couches - Mattresses or bed frames - Desks or office furniture - Tables - Dressers or bookcases - Pianos or organs - CRT TVs - Household chemical items and cleansers, including pesticides, paint, paint thinner and aerosols - Automotive hazardous waste such as tires, lead-acid batteries, additives, gasoline, oils, antifreeze, etc. - Large appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, stoves/ovens, washers/dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, furnaces, trash compactors, water heaters, large console stereos, freon-based appliances, etc. - Personal care items such as shampoo, conditioner, nail polish remover, shaving cream, hairsprays, or shavers - Fragrance items - Carpet or carpet padding - Plumbing fixtures or building materials - Traditional recyclables such as glass, newsprint, office paper, cardboard, plastics, magazines, junk mail, etc. - Weapons such as guns, bows and arrows, ammunition, etc. - Cribs, car seats, walkers or other products that do not meet the current safety standards of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, including recalled items.
