All donations that Evansville Goodwill can sell in our stores are greatly appreciated. However, when Goodwill receives items that cannot be sold, staff must dispose of them - this includes loose papers that could contain donors' personal information. Disposal of such items (especially secure shredding of loose papers) raises expenses and reduces the revenue available for employment and educational services.Items we can't accept include:

• Documents containing personal information, including bank statements, passports, checkbooks, medical histories and other, similar materials. Donors should always check their donations for such materials before donating.
• Used tires
• Hot water heaters
• Furnaces
• Carpeting and padding
• Mattresses, bed springs, sofa beds, hospital beds
• Cribs and carseats
• Household trash and garbage
• Scrap lumber, concrete, bricks, stones
• Air conditioners
• Firearms
• Paint, household chemicals, insecticides, etc.
• Food items
• Large commercial desks
• Cubicles
• Entertainment Centers
• Televisions
