About the Organization & Community Impact

GreenDrop Donation Center – Springfield is a GreenDrop collection site. GreenDrop operates as a professional fundraiser that receives secondhand goods on behalf of nonprofit charity partners; the donated material is sold in bulk and the resulting value is used to raise funds for the participating charity. In the New Jersey entries on this list, the location notes identify the American Red Cross as the beneficiary. This model gives donors a convenient way to move clothing and smaller household goods into a reuse stream while also producing financial support for a charitable organization. It is different from donating directly to a local thrift shop because GreenDrop manages the collection and resale process as an intermediary. For estate donors, the principal benefits are convenience, reuse of acceptable goods and charitable fundraising.

Save a trip! Call GreenDrop Donation Center – Springfield first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
