A ribbon ceremony will open the donation center for business, which will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week.
Goodwill’s DonationXpress offers a fast, easy and environmentally responsible way to get rid of the clothing, textiles, electronics, and other household items families no longer need, and get a tax receipt for their donation.
“Our Bedford Hills DonationXpress will create jobs and a convenient way for people to donate the things they no longer need, diverting those items from landfills,” said William J. Forrester, President and CEO of the NY-NJ Goodwill. “Add DonationXpress to your list of errands. Bring along the kids. It’s never too early to teach them the benefits of re-using, re-purposing, and re-cycling.”
DonationXpress accepts clothing, electronics, small furniture, books, records, CDs, DVDs, and other household items. Donated goods in good condition are tax-deductible and receipts are provided upon request. Sale proceeds from Goodwill stores support Goodwill programs.
The Bedford donation center will be staffed with three individuals from Westchester-based Goodwill employment programs for persons with disabilities. It will also serve as a training site for people from these programs to get work experience prior to placement.
In Westchester County, Goodwill stores are located in the ShopRite Plaza at 8 Joyce Rd in New Rochelle, at 380 North Saw Mill River Road in Elmsford, Somers Commons Center at 80 Route 6 in Baldwin Place and at 440 South Riverside Avenue in Croton-on-Hudson.
