I worked for 11years in a local charity shop, I think everyone should spend a day in one of the many charity shops, if only to understand the difficulties we have to face on a daily basis. Some of the donations left for us to sort through are so discussting I couldn't begin to tell you, some people just clear out a draw, a cupboard or a wardrobe, and put it all in a bag, obviously not sorted into good or rubbish, but leave it for the kind people to sort for them. The amount of rubbish charity shops get and for which they have to pay to be collected and disposed of all has to come out of the profit made on the very good items donated by careing people. I urge you to please think twice before donating, ask yourselves "would I buy this from a charity shop" if your answer is no then bin it yourself.
