Goodwill Redlands Donation Hours (2024)

FAQs

What time of year does Goodwill get the most donations? ›

Donations May Be Seasonal

People tend to clean out their houses during certain times of year. Summer, when yard sales are popular, is generally a good time. Busy periods, like holidays or back-to-school time, often see slow-downs in donations.

Monday: Fresh Finds

Mondays are often the best day to discover newly donated goods, including unique items or top brands to look for at thrift stores. Over the weekend, many people clean out their closets and drop off bags at their local Goodwill, meaning you can be the first to explore fresh finds before anyone else!

Goodwill DOES NOT accept these items

Baby gear, including furniture, car seats, strollers, high chairs, etc. Building materials: glass, doors, window frames, scrap lumber, metal, etc. Hazardous materials, including liquid cleaners, paints, detergents, fertilizers, weed killers, chemicals, motor oil, etc.

According to Goodwill, the perfect time slot to shop at thrift stores is in the morning on both Monday and Tuesday. This is because, at least as far as Goodwill is concerned, people tend to donate garage sale remnants on Sunday, so the pickings are new and fresh come early weekdays.

While there's no “perfect” day to shop second hand stores, many regulars swear by shopping early on Monday and Tuesday. Homeowners tend to drop off garage sale leftovers on Sunday nights, making for new finds. Plus, the weekends are more crowded shopping days, so employees look to restock early in the week.

#1: DO Ask What Color Tag Day It Is

Yes, each item has a specific color tag assigned to it. You'll see red, yellow, green, and blue tags. It's a way for the company to track how long items have been in stock. Some days of the week, various colored tags will be a substantial discount – sometimes as high as 50% off.

The Goodwill Date Night Challenge consists of couples who head out to their nearest Goodwill and find an outfit for each other (or themselves) to wear, but there's a catch. Each person has only $10 to spend and must wear it out on their date!
