Donations denied
Goodwill will stop accepting TVs, computers

GLASGOW

Goodwill Industries of Kentucky will stop accepting donations of televisions and computers starting Dec. 1.

The decision will effect all 53 locations in Kentucky.

According to a news release, accepting televisions and computers has become cost prohibitive.

Roland R. Blahnik, Goodwill’s president and CEO, said in the release there is not enough demand for the items.

“It costs Goodwill more to dispose of computers and televisions than can be generated by selling them, thus draining valuable resources from our mission to help people with disabilities or other disadvantages gain jobs and a better quality of life.”

Lennea Wooten, donated goods manager for Goodwill in Glasgow said the local store didn’t get a lot of very recent computers donated.

“We’ve pretty much accepted any computer pieces brought to us,” Wooten said. “We probably never got anything super recent, like a flat-screen monitor. We sold things like speakers and mice, keyboards; not a whole lot of the computers themselves, that depended on their condition. We had better luck with the monitors, but the computers, we didn’t sell a whole lot of.”

Electronics can still be dropped off at Staples in Glasgow and Bowling Green, which accepts computers, printers and all-in-ones; Best Buy and Office Depot in Bowling Green also accept electronic items.

Companies such as Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Acer, Toshiba, Gateway, IBM, Sony, Panasonic, Epson, Motorola, Nokia, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint will accept their products for recycling.
