Cleaning out clutter? New West Seattle place to donate

For anyone who’s clutter-busting today, or sometime soon: Southwest Youth and Family Services (at 4555 Delridge; here’s a map) now has a Goodwill bin – and not only will your dropped-off donations help Goodwill, they’ll also help SWYFS, according to the announcement sent out this week:

Southwest Youth and Family Services is now hosting a donation bin to benefit our local Goodwill organization in exchange for vouchers to use as cash at Goodwill.

Donate your quality, reusable items to recycle at Goodwill. Your donations will be collected in the blue Goodwill donation bin located in the SWYFS’ parking lot.

Goodwill sells the donated items at their 16 regional stores. — SWYFS WILL RECEIVE VOUCHERS TO USE AT THE GOODWILL FOR EVERY NEW OR GENTLY USED ITEMS!

Thanks for letting us know of this location. Very timely as I was needing to donate yesterday. It would be great to have a complete list of Goodwill drop-off locations in WS posted to WSB

Thanks!

Great idea. Plays into an idea for a page we’re going to be creating within a week or so. Thanks for the suggestion!

I donated some old clothes and shoes that were still in good condition, but they wouldn’t take some of my other items like this old couch and chair. I checked around online and found this hauling company out in Seattle called Busby Junk Removal. I called them up, they promptly came out the next day and hauled away the left over items that couldn’t be donated. I added a couple extra items and I felt the price was very reasonable and the service was professional.

Sorry, comment time is over.
