Goodwill is actually incredibly shady, and I refuse to donate there any more: https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2016/10/25/goodwill-industrie...

That said, there are plenty of other charities and local donation spots in many cities for reuse of even items that you wouldn't think would be valued.

To be fair that's specifically about the Omaha Goodwill. Different regions have different policies.

How about the other large donation centers, particularly the salvation army?

I'm not sure. I've read that the Salvation Army has had an anti-LGBT internal culture in the past, even denying aid to people based on their orientation. The top of the organization appears to be trying to shed that image now, but it's unclear how fully behavior has changed.

The Salvation Army is incredibly anti-LGBT.

Every region is different. Goodwill of Silicon Valley, for example, has been highly rated by independent agencies like Charity Navigator.

+1 Goodwill is rumored to use court ordered volunteers like indentured servants.

I met someone recently who buys in bulk from goodwill, Salvation Army etc. to resell.

There's a line whenever I go. Most of us aren't billionaires, though.

True, but couldn't they just have their assistant do it? I doubt Zuckerberg is the one sorting through his trash and taking it to the curb anyway. Why not instruct your employees to try to re-use things rather than toss them in a landfill?
