Minnesota Goodwill Stores Will NOT Accept These Items

I am in the process of going through everything in my house - clothes, appliances, etc. - and purging what just sits around collecting dust.

This got me thinking: where can I donate these items? Some things, like clothes, you can donate at a bunch of different places.

However, when it comes to small appliances and other knick-knacks, it can be a bit tricker to figure out where to bring those items. I'd much rather donate them than just throw them away.

Goodwill is always a good option for these sorts of things but they do not accept everything so it's best to know what they don't accept before you make the trek.

Believe it or not, what Goodwill stores will and won't accept does vary slightly from stores in Minnesota and those in Wisconsin.

I don't know about you but I always prefer to get rid of things rather than just throw them away. This is not only better for the environment but makes you feel a lot less wasteful, too.
