(Tyler, Texas) - As we look forward to kicking winter to the curb and welcoming the warmer weather of spring, we'll also look at doing some tidying up around the house. That may mean you'll find some items that you'll want to get rid of but don't want to go to waste. That's why you'll donate some of those items.

There are a plethora of great organizations in East Texas you can donate those items to. All of them are great options. One of those places to donate is Goodwill of East Texas. While they do take a lot of various items, there are some items they will not accept.

What Items Goodwill in Texas Will Now Not Accept as Donations

Goodwill does a lot for East Texans. Not only will they take in gently used clothes, office furniture, computers, books and other items, they also provide jobs for many folks. Goodwill also offers computer classes, GED classes, career training and other services (goodwilleasttexas.com/services/). All of those services are made possible by shopping in Goodwill's various stores across East Texas.

Goodwill improves lives in the East Texas communities we serve by providing opportunities for economic independence through work. -  Goodwill of East Texas
