I always give "stuff" to the op shops. I prefer to take my stuff to another town if I have the choice. I hate seeing ungrateful "low lifes" (for want of a better word) wearing my good clothes. I do however love to see those who truely are unfortunate wearing my stuff. I used to be too embarressd to give things like bras but now if they're in good condition I give these too. I figure to somebody else they'll be nice too.
I constantly am giving to St Vinnies. Probably once a month I do a clean out, some times i end up with a boot load, sometimes just a small bag. The last time I did a Vinnie run was 2 weeks ago and I had more than a boot full. My skinny clothes, Archies clothes, toys, books, videos, picture frames and a bag of pantry food cause we are on a health kick.
I have a little bag of stuff ready to take down there next week too. We are moving towns in February so I think there will be several car loads going to Vinnies, DH is a hoarder and I cant stand having things laying around that dont get used
The community centre here in town run an OP shop. so we donated bulk clothes, toys and bedding. the bedding usually goes out to the aboriginal camps but thats why i donated so many...
Once DD room is set up we are gunna go through the rest of DS clothes i put aside for if DD was a boy. and take the rest down again.
my mum always does it, so does my aunty. they also go OP shopping alot aswell. my lil sister gets LOTS of awesome finds.
I donate everything I don't want/need. No matter what it is, if someone else could get use out of it, I give it to charity. Unless I know a freind or family member would have use of it then I will give it to them, but otherwise it goes into a donations bin or to a charity.
I tend to donate whenever we move, which has been a lot in the past few years (5 times in the past 3 1/2 years) as I hate moving stuff we don't ever use
Once we finally settle down somewhere I'll have to organise cleanouts 1-2 times a year (although, with the rate I'm removing stuff we will probably have nothing left by then anyway lol)
the last time i donated was about 2 weeks ago i usually have a clean out every 2 mths as the clutter in my house clutters my headspace .
i acutally have a big pile to go very soon , i just have to go through dd's clothes and give all the smaller ones to vinnies .
Usually i have a vinnies and a rag pile , DH usually buys rags from vinnies for work at around $50 for a huge bag , so we turn our stuff into rags to save a bit there .
if its really broken or not working , i save vinnies the hassle and recycle, otherwise they waste time going thourgh stuff they cannot sell .
Often. My dad voluntarily managed one for 15 years and still works at one so I know what a great services they are to the community. I usually think - do I know someone who could use this? and if not, it goes to op shop.
I'm in the process of clearing out now so have a nice pile of stuff to donate. Clothes, crockery - heck there will even be furniture when I move since I don't need any of the stuff from my time with xh.
Actually, I have 3 bags of clothes downstairs waiting to go at the moment. And I am working on a bag of toys (I'm slowly sifting through DD's toys). Plus all the kitchen stuff... I do donate on a regular basis
Bag of clothes waiting in the boot here. Did a huge cull just before we left Melbourne. When it was still open we gave anything usable to the local Reuse Shop at the tip.
