“This is a 5-star location for the triangle (not necessarily compared to Goodwills outside the region). Great, but small selection of items. Really good selection of skirts and men’s outerwear. I wish the clothing was organized by size instead of just by type. There are no price tags on the items — they’re just counted by type at the register. Will return next time I’m in the area. The other locations in the Triangle are not as nice as this one.Very clean dressing rooms with mirrors on both walls! Plenty of hanger hooks in each room.”

“The Scrape Exchange Thrift Store's philosophy and business practices earns them high regard in my book.The vast majority of donations they receive are utilized and offered for sale to the public.I work in the recycling industry and I've seen A LOT of waste. Thrift stores and donation centers are not immune to the unfortunate practice of mindless disposal. The Scrap Exchange is an exception in that regard. The Scrap Exchange conscientiously manages the donations they receive. They are not wasteful. They offer for sale (at reasonable prices) the vast majority of the donated goods they receive.I've discovered that many of the other Thrift stores chronically throw away a high percentage of items that the public donates to their resale businesses. Consider that they all are dependent on free donations to operate their businesses. These type of stores are beholden to the generosity of the public. Donors presume that the items they donate will be given a chance to be offered for sale.The whole philosophy of donating to Thrift stores is based on society's obligation to reduce wastefulness.Remember: recycle, reduce, reuse.The Scrap Exchange exemplifies the practice of waste not, won't not.They value the generosity of their donors. And they provide an exciting, eclectic and satisfying shopping experience for their customers.For years i've treasured being a regular customer of their store.For most people, when they donate goods to second-hand resale operations, it's because the items are still usable. There's is often, also, the aspect that donating items for reuse will help less fortunate people. Many thrift stores, or restores, claim that the proceeds garnered from the sale of donations, are intended to be invested in providing something for poor and less fortunate people. Read the fine print... just because a business entity is a non-profit, does not necessarily mean that they are self-sacrificing and austere.The fact that Scrap Exchange operates as a non-profit is another of the many reasons to make them your go-to Thrift shopping destination! You'll love it!”

“I just keep coming back to this store, and am so excited that Hillsborough has a mom/kiddo specific resale shop! The prices are reasonable and the owner is so helpful and willing to track down specific items I've been looking for. I have not had any experience selling yet, but as a new mom investing in the endless amount of *stuff* kids need, I am very grateful to have this store nearby! An excellent assortment of toys, books, games, clothes, and baby items”

“I've thought of this place as a furniture thrift store in the past, but I noticed more this time: they have home improvement supplies (paint, parts) on the right side as your come in. They certainly have furniture (sofas, desks, filing cabinets, chairs). And they have typical thrift store items like books, housewares, decorations. I don't remember seeing much clothes, if any.”

“It took some searching but was finally able to find one pair of black work pants in close enough to my size. Didn't get to see most of the store as it was closing time, will update review when I've checked out the whole selection. Staff were friendly enough. Had to deduct a star for the sketchy fitting room, I stood on my shoes to avoid the grubby carpet.”

“One of the better thrift stores in the Triangle area and certainly in Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Proceeds go to a great cause. I primarily like the used books section, especially non fiction although they also have a lot of fiction books. Good prices: $1-2 for paperbacks and hardcovers and most of them are in great conditions. They also sell used clothing, some furnitures, electronics, CD/DVD, and other sundries. Friendly staff. Also check out their murals outside of the building! Highly recommended”
“This is a great place to get books. I think it’s fun, because you never know what you’re going to get. There are some real gems there that I otherwise would’ve overlooked. Seriously, you can get books that are $25 brand new for under $3. They even have the books organized by genre. I randomly found 3 books that I’ve never new heard of, but ended up learning a lot about those subjects. I’m a big fan!”
