Goodwill in Waukesha
The one at 1400 Nike Drive in Waukesha is amazing.! The Goodwill in Waukesha gets many brand new Target salvage items and marks them at 1/2 of what the clearance price was at Target. Other locations get salvage as well but seem to mark them higher. I have taken a lot of furniture to Goodwill, and the easiest time with goodwill furniture donation at the New Berlin store. I have also had really good luck with buying furniture at this location. People are amazed when I tell them I got my brand new round ottoman for $75 at the Waukesha Goodwill. The clothing at this Goodwill can be hit or miss – I have found really good clothes for work but not necessarily great every day stuff. My husband has had good success with cargo shorts and work shirts. Overall this is a clean store that is constantly getting great items in!

Goodwill in New Berlin
I personally do not care for the one in West Allis at 11000 W Oklahoma but love the Goodwill in New Berlin at 3540 S. Moorland Rd. I frequent the New Berlin Goodwill quite often as it is closest and is organized, clean, and full of great finds. The clothes are hung by gender, type, size, and even by color – and almost every piece of clothing is $3.99 or less! I have gotten all of my Vera Bradley handbags at Goodwills – some of them brand new with tags on – stop by one and see for yourself!

Today, Friday, August 17th at approximately 9am I dropped off a donation at the Waukesha location. I had 2 large cardboard boxes of glassware consisting of perfect, seldom used wine glasses. Each glass was carefully individually wrapped so as to prevent any chipping in transit. I also marked each carton GLASSWARE. The boxes were open at the tops. The man who took the boxes from my SUV picked up each one with one hand and plunked them down in the bottom of a deep tub with wheels. I was trying to tell him that it was delicate glassware, but he didn’t seem to care. I heard “clinking” from one of boxes. Hopefully, nothing broke. The next donation he took was tossed on top of the wine glasses. Had I known my delicate donation would be treated so recklessly, I would have taken it to St. Vincent de Paul instead. If the glasses are intact, you should be able to sell them to someone who will be thrilled to have them.
