Goodwill Soft Plastics Program

Goodwill San Diego aims to address the environmental challenge posed by soft plastics, such as plastic films, shopping bags, and bubble wrap which are not accepted in curbside recycling programs. These materials often end up in landfills where they contribute to pollution, contaminate our waterways, and pose a risk to local wildlife. By establishing a collection program, Goodwill wants to divert these plastics, reduce environmental impact, and promote a more sustainable community.

Once collected at our facilities, soft plastics are sent to our partner who transforms them into a variety of valuable products. These include durable pallets, stylish patio furniture, and deck flooring. This process keeps soft plastics in the use cycle, reducing the need for new material by using products that would have become waste.

To participate in the collection program, donors can bring clean and dry soft plastics to any of our participating retail locations. The soft plastics we accept include the following: plastic film, single use grocery/retail bags, cling wrap, bubble wrap, air pillows used for shipping, newspaper sleeves, case overwrap (like for water or soda), and other product wrap. If the package is shiny or makes a crinkly/crunchy sound in your hand, it should not be included. If you’re unsure if your plastic can be donated, see if the package will stretch when you pull it. If yes, it can be included. If it tears like paper, please leave it behind.

Following these steps ensures that your donated soft plastics can be effectively recycled into new products and supports a cleaner, healthier environment.

JunkLuggers

Keeping unwanted items out of landfills whenever possible

The Junkluggers believes that it’s critical to take care of our planet today to ensure a bright future for our children tomorrow. The amount of waste that ends up in landfills on a daily basis is astounding — so we decided to be more conscious of our contributions.

Josh Cohen, The Junkluggers CEO, has been working to protect the environment since he was a college student lugging around and recycling his first refrigerator. The Junkluggers was born out of the days Josh spent hauling unwanted items in his mom’s Dodge Durango to be recycled or donated.

We are working toward this goal every day, searching for new charities to partner with and more environmentally friendly ways to dispose of the materials we lug away.

We do not accept non-athletic footwear of any kind including but not limited to dress shoes, heels, sandals, wedges, water socks, rain boots, crocs, and other non-athletic styles.

Epic Brand Water Filter Recycling

We use Terra Cycle’s Zero Waste Box for Filters. When we get filters back from you, we place them in our Zero Waste Box. Once it’s full, we send it back to Terra Cycle and they send us another box. So the party never has to end.

Terra Cycle makes sure all the components of our filters are disposed of responsibly. The plastic casing that protects the filtration media is broken down and made into plastic to be reused. The filtration media needs special attention since it contains contaminants, so Terra Cycle makes sure those contaminants don’t just end up back in our soil and into our water supply.
