Goodwill Bins in Kent

"This place is sooo clean, spacious, and great prices! Compared to many goodwills I’ve been to, most feel like an overpriced dark dungeon. This place is bright, the staff are so friendly, and I couldn’t believe most of the stuff they had for sale! A decent amount of housewares were boxed or brand new! This Goodwill has a regular store side, then a “bins” side. On the bins side, you pay by the pound for items- it’s like digging for treasure! The bins side is clean, everyone is respectful, and they have prices posted and make sure everyone follows rules to keep everyone safe and things fair. At the bins, they fill these huge blue bins with clothing, housewares, etc., and continue to rotate them every so many minutes. It can be a little overwhelming as a first timer, because regulars or resellers, often times they have their own little system and lots of them rush to check out the newest bins put out. The staff is very diligent about not tolerating anyone pushing or being rude while trying to get to the bins or looking through them. I had an excellent experience on both parts of this goodwill, and will absolutely come back."

"Fun to watch the newly stocked isles open and the people go crazy when they let them dig but thprice r getting way too high and my last visit, the district manager wasn't exactly respetful twards me. He was rude by the tone of his voice occasionally I find a whole mess of glass needs and scoop them and whatever garbage is with them up and buy it all at glass price, since really all I am after is the(glass) bead. Until today I have had no problem ding this but I explained what I had done, and that since all the broken glass and crud was going to b tossed, and that all I wanted was the glass beads I was curious y he wouldn't give me glass price, they were going to throw it in the garbage anyways.dont you think they food will would want to make something off of it instead of paying garbage? He got snotty so I payed for my things and took it directly outside. I ride a bike with a trailer so I park it by the front door, you can see it from the register. The min I was done I took the cart back in and asked if the cashier would tell me how much the garbage would cost and she said that the manager took it to the back and dumped I in the garbage, then I saw him walking back and he said"your back?" And I explained that I never left and asked if he already threw it away. He said yes. I have never seen them take anything away from the counter that fast, that somebody didn't want, and why didn't he wait until I was actually gone to do so! In my opinion he doesn't need to treat his customers so poorly and if it was just going to be garbage why didn't he just let me pay glass price. I included pics of what I did buy which was the same as what he threw away."

"One side is similar to a regular goodwill store, the other, similar to an outlet where everything is in bins that you dig through. Almost like a fun little treasure hunt. Purchase is by weight so an arm full of clothes fairly cheap. Overall this is kind of fun to experience. There is also someone selling fruit in the parking lot. Persimmon, tangerines and pomegranate. The pomegranate was a little sour but the rest were great, left with a bag of Persimmon."

"At first glance I thought we entered the employee side of the store where they’re sorting the clothes but no. Random clothes are placed in bins for you to dig around, no organizations. It was pretty gross. Don’t go here if you have something specific to look for."
