Kentucky Goodwill Stores Will Not Accept These Specific Items

Donating unwanted items to Goodwill is a great way to donate to a good cause and make space in your home. Unfortunately, there are things they can't use. Here's a list of items they wish you wouldn't donate.

ITEMS GOODWILL WON'T ACCEPT

Sometimes the nature or condition of items, or something doesn't meet safety standards is a reason your donated items won't be accepted at Goodwill. When they receive items that cannot be sold, staff must dispose of them which takes a lot of time and space. With that being said, here's a list of items that are NOT accepted.
