Cardboard, metal and plastic that don’t have alternate uses (ruined Monopoly boxes, broken fake Christmas trees, warped plastic toys, etc.) all get recycled. Goodwill Northern New England donations spend three weeks on the store sales floor before being discounted. Every single item in Goodwill is priced with a colored tag or sticker. There are six tag colors, and new ones go on sale each week. In an item’s fourth week on the floor, they and all other items tagged with the same color are discounted at 50%. In their fifth week, they are further discounted to 75% off.
Accepted Donation Items
These discounts are known as Goodwill’s Color of the Week sales. They are just one part of our sustainability efforts to keep materials in circulation. They also give shoppers a bargain and make room for fresh merchandise.

Gulf Breeze is getting a new thrift store after Santa Rosa County approved a development proposal by Goodwill to build its second retail store in the county. Goodwill has a way to reuse or recycle almost everything; an item’s path depends on what it is. For example, the third Muskatee was ultimately repurposed into a Goodwill Wiping Cloth. Instead of throwing away shirts or towels we can’t sell, we send them to our warehouse where they are cut up, turned into wiping cloths and sold to local boat builders and artists. Donated electronics are refurbished and sold through GoodTech, and unusable computers and their parts are wiped and recycled through our partnership with Dell Reconnect. Kitchenware, electronic wires, shoes, stuffed animals and other leftover items all have homes with businesses that buy them in bulk.
