Goodwill Industries will provide a collection point in Sturgis. Through the Goodwill Ambassador Program, local communities are provided a collection point for donations of household goods that are no longer needed. The donations are then transported to the retail outlet in Rapid City where they are sorted. Some items are re-sold in the outlet store and some items are recycled. Proceeds from the donations are used to support various community efforts and fund training programs for the disadvantaged in local communities.
The Sturgis collection trailer will be located at the Sturgis Liquor Store lot near the cardboard recycling trailer. The trailer will be available from July 18-24 and will return for approximately one week each month thereafter.
The collection trailer will be supervised by area volunteers who can help with sorting and carrying donated items and will issue receipts. The trailer will be locked each night.
