Proceeds from items sold by Goodwill provide over 85% of the operating revenue needed to help people with disabilities and our nation’s veterans. Thank you for your support!

Do you accept computers and electronics?

Yes, we accept electronics and computers – both for resale and for our recycling program. (Please remember to remove all personal data from hard drives before donation.)

We’re proud to be a recognized leader in electronics recycling, and we’re grateful for your support in helping make our planet a cleaner place.

How can I work with Goodwill to schedule a Community Donation Drive?

Each year, Goodwill partners with organizations, neighborhoods and businesses to support community Donation Drives.

To find more about working with Ohio Valley Goodwill on a Community Donation Drive, please contact: Josh Hamblin, Community Donations Coordinator, at (513) 771-4800. You can also complete the contact form on our Contact page, and we will get back to you as soon as possible to schedule your community donation drive.

What if I need to have my donation picked up?

You can absolutely have your donation picked up. Ohio Valley Goodwill partners with two different organizations for donation pickup: College Hunks and ReSupply

  • College Hunks charges a fee based on the overall amount of items being collected. This service includes additional benefits, such as the removal of items from anywhere inside your property to be taken to Goodwill, as well as the removal of items Goodwill cannot accept. Donors will receive a discount off the regular pricing when they mention Goodwill, and your donation is still tax-deductible. Call 1-800-825-7819 to schedule your pick-up today.
  • ReSupply is a veteran owned and operated software and logistics company. Donors pay a small fee and can book pickup using the “Donation Pickup” option within the Goodwill phone system, or by visiting the ReSupply site. ReSupply’s system will automatically email the donor an electronic tax receipt.

How can I find the nearest Goodwill location?

You can use the store locator on their website at www.cincinnatigoodwill.org to find any of their 30+ donation sites and 19 retail stores throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.
