Don’t Bother Trying to Donate These Items to New Jersey Goodwill
Don't Bother Trying to Donate These Items to New Jersey Goodwill
We are currently in the midst of a cleaning and reorganizing initiative here at the radio station. We got new people in the office and changed things around. As we did that, we found stuff we don't need anymore. Instead of throwing it away, we're giving it to local groups that can use it.

We have things to donate, like tables, chairs, TVs, office supplies, and exercise equipment (though I wonder why we have exercise stuff). We're looking for places that can use these things. We found charities like Goodwill that will take them.
If you have things to donate, sharing Goodwill's list of what's great to donate and what you shouldn't include would be useful.
