Goodwill accepts bicycles in good condition. They do not take bikes with flat tires or items needing repairs. For a complete list of acceptable and unacceptable items, please refer to Goodwill’s 2024 Acceptable Donations List or contact your local branch for more information.
When donating a bike, it is helpful to consider its overall state. If the bike is in good condition except for the flat tire, it is likely that Goodwill staff can repair it or find someone who can. Goodwill believes in empowering individuals and communities through donations, regardless of the item’s current usability.
Donors should ensure that their bicycles are clean and free from visible damage. Clear communication about each bike’s condition helps Goodwill staff make informed decisions.
In summary, Goodwill does accept bikes with flat tires but values bicycles in better condition more highly. This policy is part of a larger commitment to sustainability and community assistance. Next, we will explore the benefits and processes of donating items to Goodwill.
