toddbookman So the owner of a company that LITERALLY makes billions in free money is complaining that he has to take out the garbage?
maxnesterak Americans are dying, our democracy is under sustained assault by one of its own political parties, and this is what you're covering? What the actual?
maxnesterak Dumping stuff at Goodwill is actually more trouble than just throwing it away. Just throwing that out there.
Goodwill has annual sales of nearly $6B on items they get for free. Sorting through the junk is the cost of doing business. Judging by CEO salaries, it is pretty good business. No tears for goodwill.
toddbookman Great article! Thank you! Can you clarify this? Will Goodwill accept and re-sell some broken electronics? The article says it ' refurbishes some broken electronics.' Thank you!
I'm a frequent Goodwill shopper and frequently find things that ......... maybe don't need to be donated. This was one of the best examples of that. Shouldn't have been donated and shouldn't have been put on the shelf. Blessed Be 🙏
Sounds like NPR needs to pay Goodwills trash bill.
Now do a story about how much money Goodwill’s executives make and how little they pay their employees. I’m happy to give them my trash to throw away.
Goodwill profits of the labor of the disabled.
Where I volunteer people leave their trash bags full of garbage!👎👎👎
dustyslay “Goodwill Doesn't Want Your Broken Toaster”
i listened to this on the radio earlier today. too many people think these organizations, like good will, should bed 'grateful' for anything given them.
ecoconsumer Send it to the bins. Someone will buy it.
Get real, donors!
I donate a lot of items every year, but never to Goodwill because they resell it for too much. I'd rather support the local battered women's shelter instead and donate to their store.
Then municipalities need to stop making it so damned difficult to throw things away. My town’s transfer station open 16 weeks per year, and the list of items they accept is very limited. Liberals want to pretend that nothing should go to the dump. Not reality. NHPolitics
Goodwill wants to sell videogames they got for free for 40 bucks. Forget any notion of this business helping poor families.
Shameful, people think Goodwill is their trash collection center.
I have worked ar Salvation Army so I know first hand what gets donated and what needed to see the trash can. Now I am on BuyNothingProject on Facebook to buy less on Amazon and live more minimalistically..
I could fix that table.
Im on the fence, i worked at a thriftstore, some people straight donated garbage and wanted a tax write off slip; but then good will is tax exempt, and pay their ppl minimum wage, where does all the profit go?
People are stupid
I would be a lot more sympathetic is Goodwill wasn't ripping of disable folks by employing them at less than minimum wage where it's legal. Goodwill is a ripoff. Use thrift stores run by LOCAL nonprofits!
This is the story npr has about 'Goodwill'?
Wow. Common sense people, get some!
Tax free businesses have to take on a little extra trash from time to time.
Good line.... “We have seen comments on our Facebook page recently that are like, 'If you wouldn't give it to your judgmental mother-in-law, don't donate it.' ' Throw away your own trash and donate decent stuff! I’m going to remember that mother-in-law line when I spring clean
I will never donate to giveit2goodwill again. They fired all their workers who are IDD as they were 'unprofitable'. They are a scam business. A complete fraud.
Goodwill is not without its faults, but I can vouch 1st hand on this. As a min wage employee & an ASM I had to dig threw tons of bags of really vial stuff.. urine stained sheets, used diapers, dirty dirty dirty things 😷 Before you go complaining about how much the CEO makes..
Why doesn't the landfill donate their services?
Probably make more money as “Goodwill Pawn and Loan”
Someone call Goodwill a wambulance
If they want more money, they should ask the really rich (non taxpaying) churches for some of their millions.
You should have shipped the 'gross' judgment and gone directly to the trash bill. There's nothing gross about a small table missing a leg or even cracked (but cleaned) food storage container. But there is NO demand for it.
Yea they make millions off other peoples shit, no one feels bad...
People are jerks. Seriously. Throw out your own garbage
Reminds me of volunteering after Hurricane Rita in SE Texas. My first task was to go through a mountain of donated stuffed animals & throw most of them away bec so many were gross, many stinky, moldy... same thing with donated clothes, shoes. What is wrong with people? Goodwill
Everything is a sex toy if you're brave enough.
They should change their name to Badwill 😡

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesI knew they would do an appeal. I don't think it's going to change anything If Chauvin walks, the Left has no one to blame except themselves and that’s a fact. Statistically guilty police win most of the time in the appeal and end up completely absolved of their crime as well as receiving backpay and compensation for their troubles going through court. Public pressure needs to stay on this stain on society to prevent that.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesWhy am I paying for NPR only to be feed such pathetic stories about pathetic and radically corrupt people? Stacey Abrams took 5 mil from Mike Bloomberg to tell people that Bloomberg’s policies targeting minorities were not racial profiling. What a wonderful politician she is. I’m sure she is having a great time w the money she made selling out. Maybe she bought stock w Pelosi 👍🙄

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesUtah doesn't have enough water for a huge influx of people. Like the liquor laws, good luck with that. Utah is very white, and the people, for the most part, are known to be cliquish, cultish and fraught with fraud. Utah highly acceptable to conspiracy theories and revisionist history taught in their Mormon Church ward. The blood moon terrifies them, & they embrace wife beaters.

NPR Cookie Consent and Choicesnice And people are still in denial thst systemic racism, you know, exists. Decriminalize all drugs. Take some of that police money and spend in on health clinics for addicts and people who need help instead of throwing them in a box. It’s not that hard.
