A union business collaboration of two companies that have thrived on donations and diversion from landfill

Both having strong processes for collection.

Goodwill will follow all the compliance requirements.

Comprenew @ Goodwill will carry all the certifications and standards

We will continue the tightly controlled downstream.

We are beginning with Community Collection Events then eventually simply accept all electronics at Stores.

 We will eventually have resale and

training.
