Clothing and textiles do not need to be in good condition; torn or stained clothing is OK.

Do not bring eWaste, chemicals, medical equipment, appliances, food items, baby items (other than clothing) or broken items.

The public is encouraged to check with their local thrift stores to see if they can accept donations before bringing items to Kaua‘i Resource Center.

Goodwill requests the public remain in their vehicles while on-site because of health and safety concerns, heavy equipment in the area and to reduce the chance of injury to customers unloading heavy items.

Thrift stores and businesses can call 808-241-4838 to schedule pickup.

Residents requiring home pickup can contact RP’s Random Closet at 808-346-0020. Note: RP’s Random Closet is a for-profit agency.
