Goodwill Bins in Rhode Island

"Well first of all I will tell you this that I am 49 year old and the first time I found out about goodwill I was around in my 20th so goodwill be around over 10th years in business and yes everything that they have is use and they sell everything from clothes furniture electronics like radio printers TV computer vacuum also workout equipment they sell everything blankets toys silverware pots and pans plates cooking stuff and yes they are use and sometimes you find new stuff but everything are donated and people sometimes complain oh I went to goodwill and found broken things dirty stuff like hello yes you may find dirty stuff and broken things but that stuff are donated so if you don't like that then go to Walmart or what ever store you want to go and stop complaining but you may find something that you saw in Walmart or in another store that you will find in goodwill yes the stuff are use but you will be paying less money which other store will be more $$$ and in goodwill will be 💯 cheaper and is the same product use yes and cheaper yes and yes I work I have a good job and could buy stuff at Walmart and Amazon but if I find the same product that I'm looking for in goodwill then yes I will buy it there and I'll be cheaper so this place is a good store to go and see what they are selling so I 💯 recommend it there are two stores in providence and one in Massachusetts go and stop by and visit"

"Used to be one of the best spots around, but lately the quality has really tanked. Too many good items seem to disappear before they ever hit the floor. Regular shoppers notice it. The atmosphere has also gotten uncomfortable with aggressive younger men crowding, grabbing, and making the experience stressful for everyone else. The bins should feel chaotic and fair, not hostile and picked over before customers even get a chance."

"The lady complaining about the t-shirt boys must be a snowflake. I’ve never had a problem with them. They aren’t scary! I’m an older lady they don’t bother me at all. I sit down every time I go. There may be someone at every table. I just pull out a chair. I don’t expect them to roll out the red carpet. It can be competitive, duh, if that atmosphere is too much wait till it’s thinned out around the bin. In no way have I ever felt unsafe."

"A wonderful place to donate clothing and other textiles for people in need. I've dropped off many bags of good used clothes here over the years. Most recently, the donation bins have been abandoned in favor of actually giving your donations to a person. This keeps down the illegal dumping (which I unfortunately would see the results of many times), and limits when you can drop off goods to when they're open, but it's not a terrible thing."
