Kaua‘i County Solid Waste Division encourages the public to check if local thrift stores can accept donations before bringing items to the Goodwill Industries of Hawai‘i reuse collection event.
Goodwill asks people dropping items off to remain in their vehicles while on-site at the resource center because of health and safety concerns, heavy equipment in the area and to reduce the chance of injury for customers unloading heavy items.
