Goodwill Textile Donations
Presented by Bill LaBelle
Director of Operations
Morgan Memorial Goodwill of Boston
Goodwill collects clothing and household items, saving them from
landfills
Items not sold go to Goodwill Outlets and “as
is” Stores for sale
Items not sold at Outlet Stores are
baled and sold after-market
Recyclable materials are sorted and sent
to become new products Donated items are
sold in Goodwill Retail Stores

stains (paint, grass, etc), linens, towels, wash cloths, and everyday household textiles
The “not so ideal” Textile
