Goodwill Bins in Indianapolis

"All the fun and excitement of dumpster diving, but with a timer and competition involved! If this game show of a store sounds like your idea of a good time, then you'll fit right in with the madness. Blue bins of as-is cast-off items from other Goodwills are carted in on the hour, and all shoppers are forced to the side walls while the bins are swapped out, and then, like dogs at the starting mark, people will swarm the floor at the given signal and rabidly sift through the items, some of which may be the perfect find, or might be broken garbage. Gloves and hand sanitizer come highly recommended for sorting through everything, which may or may not be infested with God-knows-what. Everything is sold by the pound, which is fantastic for thrifty, eagle-eyed shoppers looking to cheaply outfit their home or flip on an internet market for a quick few bucks. Recommended spot if you enjoy shopping and/or consumerism spectacle."

"Shallow bins filled with very miscellaneous thrift/resale items. Except for a few large specially priced, everything is weighed in a scale at checkout (in the cart if you are using one). Price as of 04Sep2023 was $1.79 per pound. Employees were all great, some other shoppers were a bit aggressive. Definitely reccomend wearing sturdy work gloves. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with soap which was great for washing hands after shopping."

"Honestly, I try not to leave bad reviews for a place, but this one needs it. I love goodwill outlet stores. I’ve been coming for years. This place has been run to the ground by its customers! I came in with my infant and couldn’t have a cart because the store is allowing people to take as many as they want and fill them and let them sit. The people shopping are beyond rude!! They cannot communicate and refuse to be polite in any way. When I was finally able to get a cart, people would push me out of where I was so they could get into the bin. Like, I get it, but come on. I refuse to come back to this location until there are rules in place and the bins are cleaned up. Would give negative stars if I could."

"Everyone in their mother's uncle's nephew's great grand-niece was there on a Sunday evening 'round 5pm. The place is huge. A lot of bins with clothes (mostly) but also some furniture and misc garage stuff. There were basically no dishes or kitchenware items. They charge $1.79/lb for stuff, unless an item is over 15 lbs then it might be priced differently. I couldn't find very good quality clothes, but that may vary day-to-day. People in there move + dig FAST like they're racing to grab the good stuff... honestly just take your time and hope you find something good. I'd prefer to just go to a regular Goodwill."

"The employees I always nice to me and I always find nice things. The only thing I don't care for is the fact that nothing is on racks and you have to dig through containers to find whatever you're looking for. That's the only reason why I couldn't give it a five-star. It's like a treasure hunt type of atmosphere. But you can find nice things because I definitely did and I do recommend this place. P.s. I also recommend that you wear gloves because you got to search and containers, preferably ones that are cut proof and wear a mask because dust can kind of flare up from it. Otherwise Happy shopping."

"This used to be a great place to find deals. Now it’s overcrowded and they raised the prices again. $1.99/lb. The workers are really mean and scream at people. Today I saw a lady actually pull a woman off the floor with her cart. Yeah, people don’t listen at times, but there’s no need to get physical. Most of the stuff I saw was wet. They allow people to park their carts behind the blue lines, blocking people from being able to wait behind it, but yell at you if you aren’t in the designated areas while they change the bins out. The cashiers are the nicest of them all and some of the greeters but it has really gone downhill and not worth the effort to go."

"Went to this location not too long ago, and I was actually amazed. I've never been inside of a Goodwill Outlet Store before! They do things totally different here. Everything is sold by the weight and reasonable prices as well. Come in on different days and find different things daily. The staff are very helpful and courteous as well."

"First time here. For about 45 minutes every hour employees switch out the rilling tables of random miscellaneous stuff. You pay but the weight $1.75 per pound. In your cart . It takes employees about 15 minutes each hour to quickly cycle the tables. People swarm through the piles . They are having fun. I got 2 items. Also at the far right front side(south) is an Internet outlet storefront. We can guess what it does."
