DONATION DROP-OFF REVIEW MOSTLY: Two weeks ago, I made a…read moredonation drop-off trip to the Goodwill in Elmwood Park. I knew I wouldn't have time over the weekend to do this, so I wanted to check out this location midweek. I was just hoping that it would be a smooth process and go quickly, and fortunately it did. It's easy to get to and find on Broadway. There are ample parking spots at the Elmwood Plaza where the Goodwill is found. The donation drop-off is found to the right of the Goodwill store's entrance. When I approached, a man greeted me and helped me carry in my donations. He politely asked if I needed a receipt and provided me with one when I said yes. After I dropped off my stuff, I checked out the store just for a quick looky-look. It was a busy store with customers. The Goodwill Color of the Week was green when I visited, so items with green tags or stickers are discounted. I may come back when I have more time to see what kind of sales they offer if I'm in the area again.

Loads of parking too CONS: Jonae, who's one of the managers, is mean to many of the customers and I've even seen her yelling at the staff. I'm assuming numerous people have reported her and for some reason she's still here OVERALL: This is my favorite place to come to due to the items (despite them being overpriced at times), but if Jonae remands one of the managers I don't know how much longer people will come

I won't be in a rush to return. Maybe it's because we're just starting the new year so people are still in "out with the old, in with the new" mode, but the store was beyond crowded. Fortunately, they had parking out front and I found a spot. Immediately when I walked in and asked about donations, the employee directed me outside to leave my donations with their inventory. She was nice but clearly overwhelmed with work. The bins looked like trash bins but when I asked to confirm that it's not trash, she said it was donations. The clothes were just out in the open exposed. It didn't seem the most sanitary since anything could just get into the bags. After I dropped off my clothes, I thought about browsing the store but that was a lost cause. The checkout line was so long. It looked like people were buying whole wardrobes. So I just left. I'm sure there are probably some good finds but it wasn't worth it.

All other clothing gets sent to a facility to be used in textile recycling or thrift store use which the organization receives money for so they can purchase much needed clothing items.
