What is Secondhand September?

Secondhand September promotes the idea of a circular economy and responsible recycling during the month and beyond encouraging people to donate, purchase and repurpose goods.

The idea is simple when we donate, shop secondhand and give items another lift, we help keep usable goods in circulation and reduce waste.

By choosing secondhand, you can:

  • Give pre-loved items a new life
  • Reduce waste and support responsible consumption
  • Discover unique and affordable finds
  • Support a circular economy
  • Make an impact in our community

The impact doesn’t stop when September ends.

Secondhand Has a Much Bigger Impact

Goodwill has been promoting sustainability since 1902, giving donated goods another chance to create value instead of becoming waste. We approach our sustainability efforts from a people, planet and prosperity perspective with the commitment of creating opportunities for all. 

We work to make an impact by:

  • Promoting responsible consumption and recycling 
    • Keeping usable goods in circulation and encouraging more sustainable choices.
  • Reducing inequality 
    • Creating pathways to opportunity and supporting a more inclusive community.
  • Protecting our planet
    • Helping reduce waste by giving goods another life.
