Goodwill Bins California Store Locations

"Let me just say this , the website says it's 99 cents a pound , then you Arrive to find out it's 2.49 a pound ..that's a huge difference. I find it some places marketing strategies are dishonest ...well this is a perfect example ..you may find some good stuff .. but you need to be patient and dig ..really dig through trash yes trash .. the thing that really bothers me." - Rocky

"Definitely a one man's trash is another man's treasure situation, emphasis on trash so bring gloves if you come here and make sure you clean everything you buy. Always some cool finds when i come here but the customers act like wild dogs. A lot of depop resellers who frequent this place so be cautious when going." - Deewhir

"This is a warehouse for donations with a retail outlet for mostly unsorted items. Prices are even cheaper than the regular Goodwill resale stores, but books and clothes are in piles within deep bins, so finding what you want may be a challenge. Housewares and furniture are easier to find." - Neil

"Every time I go in, I end up with waaaay more than I meant to get, but it's 100% worth it every time. There's always a ton of clothes, which are sold by the lb, furniture, knickknacks, electronics, hella records, antiques, shoes, hats, golf clubs, bedding, books books books galore, etc..... I could go on and on...." - Craig

"Pushing, shoving and grabbing things away from other shoppers with little regard to safety, personal space or manners....The UGLY - this place dredges up all sorts, and I mean all sorts of folks, not the cleanest place, so watch your kids or leave them home. Some humans are half dressed, speak no English whatsoever, observe no common manners or practice good personal cleanliness; they swear and shove around your kids while toting their half naked, possibly sick, constantly crying offspring. There are a couple regulars that work the flea markets (I know who you are) I've had to threaten to have them arrested if the touch me again or stare down other ladies tops." - Cheryl

"It's one where it's just big tubs of stuff and you look through to find the good stuff. I especially loved the book section. I work at a school library with a small budget and I found 25 books and they're all just 15 cents each." - Jessica

"Many of the clothes in the bins are actually in great shape! Lots of good quality baby clothes too. This is a great place to come to give back to your community by taking some items home, throwing them in for a quick wash, and donating them to your local homeless shelter. This also helps the environment - these items are donated to people in need instead of sitting it a landfill after they are sent off from Goodwill Outlet. Overall, the staff and customers were very friendly and polite. I avoided the new bins because people swarm them like a Black Friday sale. The clothes were $1.54 per pound!" - Star

"Good place to find a lil bit of everything!!! ....Prices for most stuff is $1.54 a pound , shoes are $3 a pair, blankets, comforters and sleeping bags are $6. Furniture is priced as marked...I love shopping here its an adventure every time...enjoy!!!" - Suzanne

"I love this place the people who work there are the best, very helpful and nice. You can find things that you weren't even looking for the best good rates." - Kimberley

"This is an OUTLET store, meaning that anything the Retail Goodwill stores don't carry will show up here. Everything is brought out in large trays and the customers have to wait till all the trays are set out before they can rummage through them. This happens several times a day, so the excitement is high. You may find trash or treasure, anything from clothes to jewelry, furniture to crafting supplies. Items are weighted and priced by weight except for the heavier items which are priced individually or by a formula that is posted. This is not children friendly, as they will have to stay in a cart, and it is very difficult to move the cart in and out of the trays." - Eva

"Nice employees. Unfortunately the customers in line were extremely rude and really turned me off of the whole experience. Mostly resellers who are strangely competitive which was a bummer. Not the most relaxing thrifting experience but if you want v cheap clothes definitely the place to go." - Julie

"UPDATED HOURS & PRICES The current process is each person/group gets 2 min per bin and a beeping sound tells you when the 2 mins are over. There's about 12-14 bins to go through. At the end you can go back to any of the bins too. I'd recommend bringing someone else bc it's too hard to go through a bin in 2 mins by yourself. Also I recommend bringing gloves and your own bags since they don't provide any. They change out the bins after every group, so you'll get new stuff too! The whole process takes about an hour so be prepared to wait. Some people bring chairs. The people who work there are they're doing the best they can." - Paula

"The good will store is large not bad prices. The outlet is smaller then the one on Madison avenue with low ceilings that make you feel claustrophobic prices are the same at both outlets. Parking is also very limited." - Matthew

"The Outlet next door is great! We came here on Saturday, to its opening at 8am sharp, and it was fun. You can find lots of great stuff, new with tags, vintage, everything by the pound, $1.59 per pound, cheap! You can get bags of stuff. My girlfriend even found Lululemon clothes here, her favorite sport brand, pretty expensive one btw, and I found a pair of vintage Levi jeans. I might go here and try to resell stuff online." - Jake

"As an avid lover of the bins, don't waste your time. As of August 2022, they only have been sales outdoors, and it's very limited. This place charges $1.50 per item, and they only sell clothes in the bins. If you want to buy books or electronics or anything else you have to buy it by the box and I'm not sure how much it is but it's too much. I also had to wait in the very dirty and shady office for 15 minutes to pay for my items because for some reason they couldn't open the cash register for my three items that I was purchasing." - Megan

"This is an update. I was not sure if this place was open or permanently closed. It is open. They moved everything outside so you have to enter through the gates on the side of the building. It looks like they are closed from the parking lot in front of the building. And there are no signs saying that they moved the entrance to the side of the building. I was disappointed to learn that everything is $1.50 an item after spending an hour digging and collecting my items. I did find one thing that made it worth my time. So it still is a great place. Hopefully they will go back to selling by the pound not by item." - Danny

"The customers who shop at this store are abusive towards other shoppers. I was aggressively shoved by a customer when trying to look through a new bin. Management couldn't care less and allows these customer to behave like rabid animals" - Tabitha

"Literally came here in the evening and found a lot of designer things. IT IS CHARGED BY THE POUND. Know what to expect. #1 huge blue bins that you must dig through. If you are particular, do not come here. #2 If you are into reselling, you might want to make this a whole day event. #3 If you get tired easily, you will need caffeine to keep going. #4 the shoes are rarely together, you will be lucky to find a matching pair. #5 If you have kids and you aren't trying to go broke..come here. #6 You pile everything into your own shopping cart and they put the entire cart on a scale and subtract the weight of the cart. #7 You can find amazing vintage things here. The selection of books can be very very interesting. #8 be nice to the employees there because they deserve it." - Lin

"So rude and obnoxious i have a 5 year old daughter and i have been here twice with her and recently i went and they did not let her in they told me no kids allowed wich is ridiculous because they have no signs posted anywhere where it states that so yes i am super angry dont cone here!!" - Vicente

"All in all it is one of my favorite thrift stores. I have scored some very unique items by being at the right place at the right time. But, there has been times when I have went in just before closing and found some very cool items. Soo, it's like I have said to others it is hit and miss a good percentage of the time." - Ren

UPDATE 02/10/2025: 2 Sales still. 7:30-10a is a by the piece sale. 15 items of clothing for $27 or $2/piece. Jackets and certain brands not included. 10:30-1p is a tote sale which is 35lbs for $24. They also have shoes now but I didn't ask about those. Don't forget your reusable bag and gloves! - Athena

I was hesitant to go because of the reviews but I went and had no problems at all. I've been twice now and going again. Everyone is so nice and helpful, I guess I got lucky. It's very organized. I was also nervous because I hadn't been to one of these but they explain it to you and doesn't feel overwhelming. - Stephanie
