West Virginia currently has one Goodwill Outlet, located in Westover, offering bargain hunters a unique treasure-hunting experience unlike traditional thrift shopping. Known as “Goodwill Bins,” this outlet store features large blue bins filled with unsorted items where shoppers can discover everything from clothing and accessories to household goods at deeply discounted prices.
What makes West Virginia’s Goodwill outlet special is its pay-by-the-pound pricing system, allowing customers to fill up on quality secondhand items for just a fraction of retail costs. This is the last stop for donated items that didn’t sell in regular Goodwill retail stores, giving shoppers access to hidden gems that might otherwise be discarded.
Unlike conventional thrift stores with organized racks and shelves, the Westover location rotates fresh bins of merchandise throughout the day, creating an ever-changing inventory that keeps the shopping experience exciting.

Goodwill Outlet in Westover (6540 Mall Rd, Westover, WV 26501) offers a “bins” shopping experience where items are sold by the pound, typically around $1.79 per pound with a cap of $6.99 per item.
Books, glassware, and ceramic pieces are priced at $0.49 per item, while suitcases, storage containers, exercise weights, and bowling balls cost $1.79 each.

The layout consists of large category-specific bins including clothing, housewares, toys, glassware, and electronics that are rotated every 30 minutes during peak hours. During rotations, shoppers are asked to step aside and then return once restocked.
Gloves aren’t required but are highly recommended since bins may contain broken items or dust. Carts are available but often limited, and carry-out bags aren’t provided. Items are weighed and checked out as-is with no returns.
For the best finds, plan multiple half-hour cycles, bring gloves, and check cart availability early in your visit.
