Goodwill Bins in Colorado

"If you watched the movie, Blade Runner, about a future dystopian society, you will know the vibe to expect when you first walk in to the Goodwill bins. Wear gloves, closed toe shoes, long sleeves and pants. Expect garbage, broken glass, and digging through literal tons of waste to find anything you might want. It’s busy and the crowd can be surly when the store drops some new bins. Lots of jostling, arguments, standoffs over stuffies, yelling. Tense environment. I guess the majority of customers are ‘working’ there on the daily. They all know each other and work there. Like trash pickers in India but with better trash. Aa a bonus lately they have a bully, yelling worker there. He’s a young kid having a power trip in there. Yelling at people a lot. Thinks his first job ever is real important. Delusional amount of overstepping authority. I mean, chill bro, it’s Goodwill bins you are working. Touch grass and get some perspective. Calm down. I just can’t."

"Wear gloves, wear your hair up. Wear something comfy sweat pants and loose shirt. I got hot really fast digging around. Bring a bag, there were no carts. People were there likely all day. And they took over the carts. Found some good stuff but also found a pair of pooped stained shorts that motivated me to stop. I get it people have no common sense and donate everything. But I also found a lot of target, Walmart, SHEIN items some new with tags. Staff were friendly at check out."

"Since it's the outlet store, everything is in big blue bins and mixed up together. Most things are priced by the pound and it's like a treasure hunt. I found 2 pairs of barefoot shoes, never worn and Jackie vionic shoes, never worn. It was 4 ponds total and $7.00. It was our second Goodwill as we were looking for an entertainment center. He found one with glass doors for $7.00. Had some scratches but it had less scratches than the one we saw at the first Goodwill for 20.00. Everything will need to be washed down before bringing it into the house, we'll, because you never know. But there were definitely great finds. The staff were very helpful and kind too."

"We had never been to a Goodwill outlet & was surprised when we realized it was the bins. A lot of the stuff was tore up from being dug through. Lots of broken glass so I was scared to dig too much. The 3 star review is because of the hazards of the broken glass. Luckily I didn’t cut myself but I was not prepared for all of that. When they brought new bins out the people went wild. I also didn’t realize that people like camp out & spend all day here! Wild"

"If you like organization in your thrift shopping, you know, clothes on hangers, arranged by size or type,... then don't go here. These are all in bins and you gotta grab it before someone else does. Stock seems to rotate every 20 minutes so there's always something else coming out. Kinda like "competitive thrifting" It is quite fun if you don't mind digging thru bins. Bring some gloves and a chair(not kidding). I was able to get 3 mens shirts, 2 womens pants, a belt and a hat for 12 bucks. Clothing is sold per pound. Check it out,... it's pretty cool.. a little hectic but you can find some good stuff if youre part ninja."

"This is one of my favorite bin stores. I live in Wisconsin and stop here on my way out west. This is one of the few in this COUNTRY that I'm able to get a cart to shop with. There is a wide variety of goods, ALTHOUGH, there is always big, dirty junk among the decent stuff, like broken totes, filthy vacuums, dirty car mats among other things. I feel they could take the extra literal seconds to dump the obvious junk before putting it out on the floor. Why would anyone want to pay for broken laundry baskets? I have found that the employees are nice and people tend to respect the space they move around in while out on the floor, which is not the case at most Outlets. I will continue to stop here as long as I get a cart."

"Careful, you could spend hours in here rummaging through just about anything you can imigane. I suggest for first timers observing how they operate with the bin switch outs. Pay by weight and not ticket price. Staff was helpful, and did a good job cleaning up after people tossing things around."

"Gets crowded and you have to dig through bins of items. It's at by the pound. They also have a clothing and linens department. Some bikes and household furniture. It is also hard to find a cart and you have to put items you wish to purchase along walls to free your hands to dig."

"These places have always treated their customers like dirt but it was worth putting up with in the past because you would find allot of cool stuff. I used to drive to Denver at least once a week and would buy a hundred pounds or more of stuff every time. I’ve heard Goodwill started employing people to extract the good stuff so they can auction it off themselves. It seems pretty plausible because you could probably find better stuff at a landfill now. It’s nothing but Used Walmart clothing and yard sale rejects. Today an employee told me I couldn’t sit on a chase lounge they had for sale while I was waiting for them to rotate bins so I threw all my stuff back and left since it was all stuff barely worth buying anyway."

"Black Friday simulator except it's mystery items and you never know what you're going to find. I spent 3 hours here sorting through clothing to get one gigantic bag for $35. When I was first rung up they charged me $65, I had never been so I paid it until my friend and the cashier started questioning things. My friend was like that isn't right, and thankfully the cashier agreed and refunded the $65 purchase and paid the $35 instead which seemed more reasonable. You just need to know what you're doing to be safe here. Men's bathroom was clean, it's only 1 person at a time and requires a code. I guess they had problems in the past. It was nice though now. They have a rule for no one under 16 can shop but I saw some little kids trying to shop the bins, need stricter enforcement there. One lady with really short hair was trying her best. Staff are all hard working and fast. It's a bit of a mad house in there. Some of the clothing I got to resell was quite nice, like some good quality Volcom snowboarder pants, business pants multiple pairs, good quality vintage t-shirts. You got to really dig in these bins. Just random items all over the place. A lot of resellers but also people shopping for their kids or themselves. I'm taking a shot at reselling this lot to see what it's like. It's an experience for sure."

"This was an interesting stop! Quite the experience. I'll call it bin shopping. It's obviously a sport to some. Bins are brought out, customers stand behind a red line, they say go, and everyone runs to dig through the bins. The bins are exchanged, and you do it all over again. When it's time to pay, you put your finds on a big scale and pay by the pound. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. I didn't really find anything, and there was a lot of broken glass and other not so great things in the bins. Many people had gloves on. There was some pushing and shoving. Interesting."

"Probably the worst bins in the Colorado area. The stuff isn’t the best it seems like they have employees take out what they want first. The checkout is the worst and is so long because they take out your stuff and rearrange the categories that aren’t even on the board!! At the point you don’t even know what you’re paying for. The employee named Juliana or whatever had her grubby hands take my shoes out of the cart and told me it was $1.89 per pound… okay it was with the clothes why are you being sketchy and taking them out just to charge them separately for no reason? Employees are snarky and bad vibes and negative energy all day long. Don’t go to this bins… just a waste of time. I recommend the Denver or any other one would be better than this one. Overrall this outlet is sketchy and annoying, won’t be going there anymore 🫣"
