Huge List of Items That Goodwill Will NOT Accept at Minnesota Stores

My house in Minnesota had a major transformation last month.  One night, when I was sick of looking at all of my stained carpets, I had the idea to recarpet our house. It sounds like a simple task but before Hammernick's came in to install my new flooring, I was going to repaint the inside of our house.  By myself.  And somehow do all of this...and work...and have kids go back to school...oh, and we threw in a massive surgery for my husband too.

In the process of getting the rooms ready to paint and carpet, I realized that we had a lot of extra stuff.  LOTS!  Piles of toys the kids don't use anymore.  Ping pong balls and paddles that we don't have a table for anymore.  Why we still have them...I have no idea. 

And the clothes.  What a disaster my closet was!  I had an area of clothes that were my "dream" options...for that body that I haven't been since 8th grade.  There was the pile of "if I only ate salad" clothes, which let's face it, I don't like salad that much.  Thankfully, all of my yoga pants fit at any size...and I have plenty of those.

As I'm putting our house back together, I decided that nothing is going to be allowed to stay if it doesn't have a home itself.

Before I knew it, the back of my SUV was completely full and it was off to the thrift store to share our no-longer-needed treasures with others that can use them.  As I was venturing around town to drop off items at locations, I found out that Goodwill has a list of items that they won't accept.  Before you fill up your car, go through the list below so you know what can be donated and what can't.
