GOODWILL SUSTAINABILITY CENTER

Spanning 175,780 square feet, the new Goodwill facility will feature a 150,660-square-foot first floor dedicated to relocated warehousing, logistics, retail production, e-commerce operations, and the outlet store, as well as expanded recycling capabilities. A second-floor mezzanine of roughly 25,000 square feet will include a 10,000-square-foot event space. The facility will function as the organization’s operations hub, called The Sustainability Center.

The Sustainability Center will expand recycling efforts for materials including electronics, glass, cardboard, plastic, metal, and textiles. Triad Goodwill currently diverts more than 15 million pounds of material from local landfills each year, ranking among the largest recyclers in the region. With the additional space, the organization will be able to add more state-of-the-art recycling equipment and increase its capacity to repurpose materials that would otherwise go to waste.
