haven't done much recently as we had a bit of a decluttering binge while i was pregnant and donated everything that wasn't tied down to the black saturday/salvo's collection. in the two months before that we'd donated 3 trailerloads of things. about 12 months before that we donated pretty much a house full of furniture (single/double/queen bed, kitchen setting, heaters, fans, fridge, lounge suite) to the salvos (not to the normal op shop - that went straight to the crisis centre for helping people escape abusive relationships).
before christmas 2008 there wasn't a week for about 2 months that we weren't dropping something at the salvos for their op shop. and everytime sil came out, we'd send something to st vinnies....
need to do another declutter soon - but i'm struggling to find time with an active little poppet!
ooh yeah, we sent cuttlery and crockery as well - and when our kitchen gets updated, there will be a set of pots and pans as we'll replace them with the ones that are packed away at the moment
Probably 2-3 times a year, mainly clothes and some household stuff in good nick. We also make good use out of our second hand book store which is great. Take books in we don't want, get new ones!!! GOLD.
