Goodwill Drop-off Center
Household items and clothing get a second chance at the Miramar
Recycling Center where a Goodwill donation bin is set up at the entrance
to help people donate for reuse items that would otherwise end up in the
trash.
The Goodwill Drop-off Center at the Miramar Recycling Center is a continuation
of a pilot program that took place during October 2002, when the City
of San Diego, Goodwill Industries of San Diego County and the Allan Company
joined together in celebrating the nationally recognized Second
Chances Month (PDF: 98K).
Donations
Drop-off hours are the same as the Miramar Recycling Center.
All items must be in good condition. Goodwill is unable to repair or
use items with missing pieces.
Items Accepted:
- clothing
- furniture
- household goods
- jewelry
Items not accepted:
- computer equipment (monitors, key boards and CPUs)
- household hazardous waste
- large household appliances such as water heaters, refrigerators, washers
and dryers and broken items
- anything with an electrical plug
To learn about locations that recycle unaccepted donation items or how
to dispose of these items go to Environmental
Services' Web pages on household hazardous waste.
All acceptable donations go directly to benefit Goodwill
Industries of San Diego County. These items will be resold to help
provide job training and paid work experience to San Diegans with disabilities
and other barriers to employment. For more information about donated items
to Goodwill, call (619) 225-2200 or (888) 446-6394.
