Environmental Initiatives

Goodwill was recycling before recycling was the thing to do.

Through the sale of donated items it our stores we are promoting the idea of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose each and every day. For great repurposing ideas visit our Facebook page by clicking here.

Last year Goodwill Industries of the Valleys kept over 14.3 million pounds out of landfills, in our 31 county service territory in Virginia, through recycling and salvage efforts. We work with vendors, including Dell, who are committed to protecting the environment, to help us accomplish this goal. For more information on our computer recycling program, Dell RECONNECT, click here.

EDGAR is also "Educating that Donations to Goodwill Are Recyclable" and can be found on Goodwill's Unattended Donation Bins, trucks, social media, and in materials for children and teens.
