Clean and well organized thrift store where proceeds return to the community for those in need.
Staff is helpful and friendly. Some staff are receiving training.
Quality recycled donations, good selection, prices are creaping up but often can use their half off coupon.

Wacosa’s document shredding just makes my life and my clients lives easier. It is so nice to have a great place to send my documents to be destroyed. They are so easy to work with and as a bonus I know that I am also helping to employee some gifted people.
They recycle cell phones and electrical wire/cords
