they're going to do the same eight warehouse location here in burlingame. this is after bedbugs found in both locations friday. the problem is they don't know how bedbugs got there, whether brought in on someone's donations or some other means. as a result now, they're not taking donations at those two warehouse locations until they can get critters out of there. they've had to throw out 15 very large boxes of donated items, about 40 cubic yard in volume to give you the sense of volume and how much they're throwing out. they've had to steam clean items made of cloth. this has hocost hundreds of tho of dollars of lost revenue and having to rent out a new space to collect newdow nations until the problem's resolved. all of the money instead cannot be use ford job training programs which it was initially intended for. >> what a tragedy for goodwill. seems like a big bummer. and it's going to take them a while to recoup. >> reporter: bedbugs as the name implies due obviously reside in cloth-like materials, mattresses and such. they do bite people because they'r
