Goodwill reuse event offers Kauai residents easy donation drop-off
Kaua‘i residents can drop off reusable clothing, toys and small furniture at the KRC on July 10, with torn or stained clothes still accepted.
Goodwill Industries of Hawai‘i will collect reusable donations at the Kaua‘i Resource Center in Līhu‘e from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, July 10. The drop-off site is at 3460 Ahukini Road, a central location the County of Kaua‘i uses to channel usable goods away from the landfill and back into circulation.
Goodwill’s Kaua‘i drop-off events run monthly on Fridays at the KRC, with additional dates set for Aug. 14, Sept. 11, Oct. 9, Nov. 13 and Dec. 11.
Accepted donations include clothing, small furniture, kitchen items, children’s toys, books and shoes. Torn or stained clothing is still acceptable. Donations should be packed in bags or boxes.
E-waste, chemicals, medical equipment, appliances, food, baby items other than clothing and broken items are not accepted.
The County of Kaua‘i Solid Waste Division’s reuse program is meant to maximize waste diversion on Kaua‘i while supporting convenient and economical diversion options. Goodwill Hawai‘i’s broader mission is helping people with employment barriers reach their full potential and become self-sufficient.
People planning to go should remain in their vehicles onsite because of health and safety concerns, heavy equipment in the area and the risk of injury while unloading heavy items. County notices in 2025 also warned that wait times could run longer than usual after a contractor change, so residents with larger loads should plan accordingly. The county says thrift stores and businesses needing pickup service can call 808-241-4838, while residents seeking home pickup can contact Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 808-335-6105 or RP’s Random Closet at 808-346-0020.
The Kaua‘i Resource Center also offers battery recycling, fluorescent light bulb recycling, free compost bin distribution and reuse drop-off services. Its regular hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
