I usually just dump everything I don’t want to goodwill, but I’m going to start taking things to a women’s shelter. I have a lot of high end/high quality clothing that can be worn to interviews and higher end bras that haven’t been used much. :)

there’s several Buy Nothing groups in my area and those are great for giving away stuff *and* requesting anything you’re in need of (excluding things like money), i’m planning to share a bunch of stuff in the one i joined because free stuff for just some person can’t hurt

I just decluttered, so this is really helpful! I don’t know if I’ll be able to take my stuff anywhere other than goodwill because I rely on others for transportation, but it’s helpful to know about other options for the future!
@TheStitchess5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I get that. As far as I’m aware I don’t think any of these options will go away though so in the future if your situation changes you’ll know for next time ^-^

I HATE THE GOODWILL !!! Biggest scam. -" Hmmm... How can I get filthy rich ? " - "Oh I got an idea. How about I rent an empty building. Have people donate my inventory." - "Their neighbors will buy it back and I keep 100% but TELL people I'm doing it for charity."

I dont know if this is only the case for my local Habitat for Humanity store, but my local store hardly throws away anything. There have been items sitting in that store for the entire 4-5 years I've lived in this town! It's kind of a shame that no one has bought those items, but it makes me feel a bit better that they're not going to a landfill after 6 months and instead have time for the right person to come along and find them.

Ahh that doesn’t mean they don’t throw away clothing they can be getting lots of clothing and throwing away a lot and only putting out a few

There’s no goodwill in my area/country (at least I don’t think? I live in Canada), so I always donate to local thrift stores in my area~ I live in a less wealthy kinda rural area, so thrift stores are smaller and accept everything u give them, if it’s in good shape of course (each is different, but some take everything from clothes, to books, to home stuff!) :3
@TheStitchess5 жыл бұрын
Yay! Yeah, shops in smaller towns seam less picky. Big areas that get lots of donations are much more likely to trash donations.

hi goodwill worker here i work on the sales floor. we don't take everything at my store mostly too heavily damaged furniture, furniture that take 3 people to lift or things that have common recalls (cribs,car seats,strollers). i have seen the most disgusting things people donate (orange pit stains, extremely worn clothes, pants with no crotch). maybe it's because of where i live i don't know about other states though.
@livlegend4 жыл бұрын
Do you have any suggestions for recycling old clothes that wouldn't otherwise be in suitable condition for donation?

My wife and I NEVER donate to Goodwill. There are a few church run thrift stores in our area.
