Willowdale Goodwill Retail Store & Donation Center

Nic-​Nacs are reasonable along with furniture but most of clothes are way too overpriced compared to their actual value. I can go to PlatosCloset, Rue21, Burlington and Rugged Warehouse and get brand new clothes for a lot less. It’s too overpriced. Such a corrupt company. Even if something is name brand once the color fades its value is heavily decreased. A lot of people I know are using Freecycle as the eco-​friendly way to get rid of junk. Most goodwill employees will buy the majority of high quality items instead of putting them to the sales floor as they get 50−75% off reduced retail prices. This creates a horrible selection due to employee greed. Most items are thrown away that are donated and are NOT RECYCLED by Goodwill, only specific electronics in working condition are recycled which makes no sense. because they get crushed to pieces anyways. As a kid I loved Goodwill but now they have become too overpriced for a thrift shop.

I originally went to this GoodWill to donate clothing and shoes. I never went in but my wife did and told me I should go in. Every since then I’ve been a GoodWill shopper, this was about a year ago. Anyways I make a lot of DIY“s and restore home goods. I’ve never been interested in purchasing cloths but I go to find trays, candle holders, frames etc. This store normally has a good selection. I’m looking for a dresser, nightstand and tv stand maybe something I can refurbish. I haven’t found anything here yet. I also collect tea pots and I found two cool ones at this location.

Decent selection of clothing, shoes, household items, books and furniture. A little overpriced in my opinion on some things, they can do better on this. Clean store, plenty of parking right outside the building and conveniently located in Frederick.
Friendly staff as well. I’ll be back but I’m still a forever fan of Unique/​Value Village.

Store is great and great selection of items, but the drop off area is disorganized and a lot of times when I donate items, the employees at the drop off area sometimes have an attitude and don’t even thank you. There should be two drop off lines, not one to make things go more quickly. Many times people with only a few items have to wait a long time for people with truckloads of items to finish. The more items the better, but two drop off lines would be much better.

This is the cleanest most organized Goodwill! I really like how they don’t put things in“grab bags” and you can actually find some cool treasures. The media department is pretty extraordinary and again extremely organized. The clothes are okay but I don’t find too much normally.

My favorite goodwill! New management and the prices are finally consistent. No more 1.90 t shirts to 3.90. They are all one price! CHEERS! Love the book section, layout for furniture and breakables. Seems I always find something I can’t live without!
