Odd. There are 3 locations all listed as "Chattanooga Goodwill".
I know for a fact there are 2 Goodwill locations within 10 miles of me, 1 in Cobb and 1 in Sandy Springs. Presumably those are not part of "Chattanooga Goodwill" and whatever they are (Atlanta Goodwill maybe?) doesn't accept them. Having said that I have taken many items to Goodwill here though not any non-working computers.

Chatsworth, GA 30705
Mon - Sat 11:30 AM - 8:00 PM
Sun 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM
(72.84 miles)
YMMV
