Goodwill in Canada
Alive and well across our remarkable country, goodwill is a life practice for many Canadians. It’s a brand. It’s a state-of-affairs in the world of business:
Goodwill refers to the value a company gets from its brand, customer base and reputation associated with its intellectual property.

Just this past April, CTV News reported on a unique new shopping experience that Goodwill Industries has launched in Calgary,
Customers can get deep discounts because bins are filled with items that have been at Goodwill stores for a while – everything from clothing, household goods, sports equipment and books. Items are not sorted, so you never know what you’re going to find. Bins are put out for about 20 minutes, then anything left inside gets recycled, and new bins come out.

For the stuff that won’t fit in the Goodwill bins
Our live telephone line often gets calls about clothing and furniture donations. We would love to be able to support our charities by processing all such things for them!
But, we are a specialized service: we are all about goodwill in the shape of your car.
We have also been known to process motorized wheelchairs, utility trailers, and the odd garden tractor! In fact, we do manage the donation of several boats and travel trailers every year, too.
For the most part, it’s all about your van, truck, SUV, car, or motorcycle. Our coast-to-coast agents mix their own goodwill into the process! Through re-selling or recycling your vehicle we are able to send hundreds of thousands of dollars to Canadian charities each year.
