Goodwill Bins in Tacoma

"way better buying clothes per lb then the rack prices! currently 0-49 lbs is 1.99 per lb at this location for clothes. there are so many clothing bins that everyone is pretty spread out unless you're going to a fresh bin. cashier was very helpful and nice since it was my first time there. the guys moving the new bins in and out were considerate to the shoppers around. biggest downside is no public bathroom!!! i would've stayed longer and probably bought more if i was able to use a bathroom! lol come early if you want to have a cart. i left at 11 and there were no carts available. otherwise very pleased for my first trip!"

"Love digging through bins to find treasures then you will love this place. All items are placed in long bins. No hanging racks here. I always leave with some fun and practical items. I do recommend rubber gloves to protect your hands when digging. I’ve never had issues but lots of people rummage through the items so it’s just a precaution. They charge you by the pound so you can really find good deals if you are willing to search for them."

"Finally was able to go to this location, there were tons of spots because it was early afternoon on a weekday. Right off the bat a lovely gal gave me her cart in the parking lot, saw her back inside an hour later (reseller hayy!). I was short on time but scored 13 items for about $29. And some cute holiday craft paper. Definitely glad I brought gloves, next time I'll bring a mask...because rat poop is a thing at the very bottom of a lot of the bins. If this curses you out then the outlet is probably not the place for you .But thus is the nature of the bins. Lots of resellers are there, some guys had some choice words to say about the new stuff coming out but pretty respectful otherwise. I was limited on time but I'm glad I went, spent almost two hours. Workers at check out were really nice, and but really thanked me for putting my cart back inside. Costs nothing to be nice y'all! No restrooms. Hand sanitizer at the door."

"Got some great items at affordable prices but there are some issues with shopping this way. 1st this place is not disability friendly. The bins are waist high (I’m 5’8”) and about 5 feet across and 8 feet wide. If you are not tall enough, abled enough, or have a high enough chair you will not be able to shop the bins. The bins are also about 1.5 feet deep and often piled about 5 feet high. It is often filled with heavy materials that take more than one good arm to pull aside/dig around in. If you wear anything medical on your abdomen you will smoosh it against the bin edges. Many times the bins are stacked 2 beside each other so you cant just walk around it to get to the other side. The bins that do not contain clothing often have broken pieces with sharp edges. You need to use something else to push around in there. There is no rhyme or reason to the bins either so you can’t target one area or another. There is no bathroom. When they have to replenish the bins everyone has to leave the store. The outside wreaks to high heaven, and you are waiting in the elements until you can go back in. If you go-bring a helper, and be prepared for chaos."
