Goodwill Store & Donation Center

"I had the audacity of showing up to the Goodwill 10 minutes after 2 to donate clothes after Christmas - a nice employee mentioned they don’t accept donations after 2 (why?), but “if you don’t need a receipt just leave them by the back” I walked around the back and there wasn’t a clear place to drop the bags of clothes, so made eye contact with an employee, who with a grimace said “that’s illegal dumping”. “I’m not dumping anything sir, just wondering if there’s any way you can take the clothes - an employee mentioned I could bring these around back”. He then tried to get me to name the person which of course I didn’t and he scowled. Kind of feels like a) bad policy for a Goodwill and b) not the kind of guy who should work for Goodwill. Good news: was able to donate the clothes at Mill Valley Goodwill 10 mins later and a really nice guy made conversation about getting the clothes to someone who will appreciate them after Christmas. Who you hire goes a long way. San Rafael- clean it up. Even if you had just explained policy and sent me on my way with clarity and good vibes, that’s better than “hey you’re breaking the law trying to give us this stuff!”"

"I don’t know who is pricing your things but your prices have gone way up. Most things can be found at Ross for cheaper and they’re brand new. you have donated speakers that you’re charging $12 for , they’re $6 at Ross! Used shirts and dresses $9.99? They used to be $5.99. That’s a huge increase and a big deal for ppl on a budget. Hope you’ll reconsider your pricing soon or it’s off the Salvation Army and more reasonably priced thrift stores ):"

"This is what you do on vacation when your daughter likes to go thrifting. She has a keen ability to find a good buy. This store is set up nicely with a wide selection of clothing and goods. You may have to pick through items but you can find some nice things. The store accepts donations from 10 AM to 2 PM, Tuesday through Sunday."

"Marin county Goodwill outlets are the place to go. Always a great selection and you can get brand names for $6.99 all in great shape. Besides the clothing they have a great stock of shoes and unusual household items it's well worth the stop. Super convenient to the Smart train Depot don't miss it."

"Maybe the best Goodwill in the Bay Area! Incredible sample clothes (tons of Levi’s denim) and shoe selection. The home goods, especially kitchen and general organization, boasted treasures galore! My only concern? The carts are so small!"
