About the good will - what came back when you questions that situation by doing a Google? Just wondering as I am there also.

Why in the world would you pay to bring stuff here to get rid of it? Don't you have a Goodwill where you are now?

Seriously, try to leave it behind. I brought very little but my CD collection, my DVD collection, and some of my library. And one chair. I got mostly new furniture from Amazon (bed that elevates—great choice), eBay (used Ekornes chair and loveseat from Norway—very popular in The Villages), and Wayfair (throw rugs, dining table and chairs, headboard, tv table). And now all the CDs and most of the DVDs and a number of the books are up for sale on eBay or donated to the Lade Lake Library. I wasn’t ready to let go then. I am now.

If when you get here you find you have too much furniture, why bother to sell it? Give it away. Put an ad on Facebook Marketplace, or NextDoor or Craig’s List saying what you have for free to the first to answer who can pick it up that day. You’ll probably get rid of it in minutes with pickup in a couple hours, and they will carry it out themselves. You don’t need the money, and maybe the people who take the furniture need it, or maybe they sell it for a few dollars, but you don’t have to. Saved you the trouble, and you’ve been generous to those in need. I’ve done this a number of times, here and elsewhere. Use this as well for appliances that work well but you are replacing. I gave away a 20 year old refrigerator in my garage this year. It worked. It was picked up by a couple that run a dog shelter.

And here I thought this was going to be a 'your mother wears combat boots' type of thread.....

I agree. I often take things to the Hospice Thrift Store across the street from Walmart on 441. They took care of my mother in her final days.

Many, many thrift stores surrounding The Villages who would be glad to pick up your unwanted items or you can also drop off items at their stores but not large pieces of furniture.

[Deden]

Yep! They do nothing for the people besides charging them for the goods they received for free!!

Had no idea that the proper spelling was cater-corner! Thanks!

Yes, use a church to drop off donations. There is a great one in Wildwood right in town called Bargains and Blessing.
I would not do Goodwill.
