Monday through Saturday, between the hours of 8:30 am
and 5:30 pm. However, you are encouraged to call

donation receipt for tax purposes right when you drop
off your items.
If you have a unique or unusual item, feel free to
call and inquire about our ability to accept it.

We actively partner with over 25 agencies, businesses
and programs, passing on the generosity from our
community and working to keep useable goods out of our
landfills. In a given month, more than 800 items leave
the processing room at Common Goods and get put to good
use by our partners! Could your program or business
use in-kind goods? Contact Suzanne at 218.824.0923 for
details about the kinds of items we might have
available.
