recycling & sustainability UALR Sustainability Day (Fall 2025)

Goodwill Industries of Arkansas participated in UALR’s Annual Sustainability Day—hosting an in- formational booth alongside other community partners. We shared our mission and highlighted key educational and training programs, as well as material recycling and glass recovery. The event was a great opportunity to connect with students and showcase how we promote environmental and social sustainability across Arkansas. Mindful Move-Outs (Spring 2025) Our sustainability manager and operations team held a successful Mindful Move-Outs program this past Spring. Through the program, students helped to divert over 32,000 pounds of reusable items from landfills. This initiative supports waste reduction while encouraging students to give back to their community through sustainable action and social impact. University of Arkansas Denim Day (April 2025) We proudly supported the University of Arkansas’s annual Denim Day Fashion Show by donating a full bale of denim for student-led designs. The event highlighted creativity, sustainability and aware- ness by encouraging students to repurpose denim into unique fashion pieces, promoting the message that style and sustainability can go hand in hand.
