Goodwill Industries Donation Center

Not impressed although grateful to have it close by.
The process was so impersonal. I dropped off two garbage bags filled with new clothing items. Some high end like leather.
Some guy came and grabbed them from me as if they were bags of garbage then whisked himself away. Nothing human about the process… assembly line giving,
From what I saw people bring used junk or generic items.
I prefer to hand stuff to people myself but wanted to try Goodwill this time around.
Good Luck with the sales.

I’ve been here more times than I can count on my two hands. It’s a quick and convenient stop on the way to the freeway (or just down the street depending on how you look at it). The staff here have rotated around quite a bit from what I can see, but they’ve been consistently professional, polite and quick to help unload.
There is always a line of cars coming through to drop off unwanted goods here. The wait is no longer than a few short minutes though.
Keep on Unilocal’n!

Great location for a donation center at the Carlsbad La Costa Park-​and-​Ride. Always quick and easy. A lot of people come here, but they take care of you fast. So you might have to wait a bit, but it’s never too long. They will take everything off your hands, and they will help unload if you have a lot, or have heavy stuff.

Ancient practices have a history or usefulness or we would never know of them. Spring cleaning has evolved from the days before trusty vacuum cleaners came along and people deep cleaned their homes in the spring for practical reasons. After a long cold winter, warmer spring temperatures were warm enough to open windows so that winds would help carry dust away.
In modern times Spring cleaning has taken of a different twist. We clean the home because we buy so much crap. Every few months I load up the car with clothes that I never wear, shoes that just don’t fit right, that necklace from the Farmer’s market that I could not live without, and regifted Christmas Presents that I do not have the heart to gift one more time.
Instead of spending the day having a garage sale take ‘em to the Goodwill. This is a giant donation center that takes everything from electronics to furniture, housewares and clothes. And of course, vacuum cleaners.
A super convenient system lets you drive up, open your trunk and kind people unload your car. You can get donation receipts because these donations go to people less fortunate.
Goodwill set up a win win situation for everyone.
