Goodwill Will Tell You 'No' to These Donations in Texas

While you stay inside to avoid this Texas heat, you may take the time to do some cleaning around the house. You probably ran across some stuff you don't need anymore or just want to get rid of to free up some space. You may just have a garage sale to get rid of that stuff but you may also feel the need to donate those items to a charity. There are a plethora of places in East Texas to donate used items and all of them are perfect options to do so. One such organization is Goodwill which can be found in Longview, Texas and other East Texas cities. While they accept a long list of items, there are some items they will not take.
