Are you a bargain hunter, or an upcycler? Overlooked treasures from their Edmonton region thrift stores are sent here, giving items a second chance at a new home. This facility allows you to hunt for various items through bins brought out by our staff and pay by the pound or at discounted prices. An ideal shopping experience for those looking for great finds at an even better price!
Shopping
At the outlet store you can find everything from electronics, to furniture, to books, to overlooked clothing and accessories.
Furniture
If you’re refurnishing on a budget or looking for that perfect DIY piece, look no further! The 3,000 square foot furniture outlet concentrates Goodwill’s furniture offerings in one convenient location.
If you are looking for a great deal, or if you a crafter, upcycler, woodworker and project-lover!
Donations
The Impact Centre accepts new and gently used clothing and household goods.
When you donate to Goodwill Industries of Alberta, you support programs that connect Albertans with disabilities to meaningful employment.
Our nonprofit is one of the largest employers of Albertans with disabilities. We work hard to turn your donations of new and gently-used clothing and household items into job opportunities. We do this by sorting your donations and selling them in our thrift stores. 89.2% of all revenues support employment programs for Albertans with disabilities.
Donations Help the Environment
When you donate to Goodwill, you not only support your community, but you also do good for the environment. Donating ensures that your items aren’t thrown away in landfills; instead, they are re-sold in our thrift stores to people who can use them.

[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Sustainability & Recycling” icon=”fa-life-ring far”]
Donated goods that didn’t find a new home are responsibly recycled as cleaning cloths and other reusable materials through our post-retail operations.
Items in the donation cycle that were unable to sell in our stores are brought into our warehouse where they are carefully sorted through and recycled. We recycle various materials so that we minimize what goes into the landfills. Products that have metals are taken apart and the metals are recycled. T-shirts and towels that didn’t sell are brought to our Commercial Services division where our team members use cutting machines to make cleaning cloths out of them. The cleaning cloths are then sold at all of our stores and at some of our local partners like, North Central Co-op and Hughes Car Wash. Our Impact centre is working towards zero waste accreditation.
Here is a list of some of the things we recycle:
- Clothing
- Metal
- Books
- Cardboard
- Electronics
- Furniture
- Shoes
- Purses and accessories
At Goodwill we are committed to continually increasing our recycling activities, diverting more and more from landfills.
