    ITS A FREE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.They are companies that are just trying to recycle more. Goodwill hasn't even tapped into the amount of clothing that should be recycled/reused. All companies combined only recycle around 15% (if i'm not mistaken) of all clothes as it is. We need these Boxes for our community. Goodwill has been attacking smaller companies like bullies. they are like the "Walmart" of donations. BTW they do 4billion dollars a year, these other companies are pennies to them. Goodwill said "their profits are down" PROFITS? i thought its a non-for prophet. ( look it up its a news report) its quite ironic.

    THIS IS AMERICA and we need more jobs, so im all for having them and am hoping everyone realizes that all goodwill does is get clothes and sells them at their store for $ and pays salaries. EXACTLY what all other companies are doing. a lot if these companies just make modest salary or even volunteer work, and do make donations to charities. They do good for communities. some like Good Samaritans and a few other organizations i've seen around, donate to churches and homeless shelters and don't charge anyone a penny for anything. whats wrong with that? I have nothing against what goodwill, what they do is a great thing, but others should be able to it as well. MORE GREEN COMPANIES !! Im all for it!

    Wow, looks like Goodwill is the only orgabazation in the US that feels it is allowed to recycle textiles. At least this company creates Jobs. Take a look at the EPA'a website about recycling textiles, then form an opinion. The bins should be regulated and labeled clearly that they represent a for- profit company, not Banned! From what I read, they are clearly marked as a for profit company. The people should decide, not Goodwill. If Goodwill was doing enough to keep texttiles out of the solid waste stream , there wouldn't be any boxes. Once again research EPA's info on Textile recycling and form an opinion.

    This is BS. For profit companies are the backbone of the USA. They create jobs. Goodwill etc. just has drunks and degenerates get cheap clothes.

    Wake up sheeple.

    Give us business men a break! We are sick of carrying you deadbeats.
