I throw the bags away. I take all my unwanted stuff to the charity shop

Don’t throw the bags away. Re-use them for something.

I usually take things to the RSPCA shop but do use the bags occasionally when it's more convenient.

Are they, didn’t realise some are bogus, the vans that come to pick ours up are sign written with the logo on side, phone numbers and certainly seem genuine, none I’ve given to are plain white vans etc, that’s actually made me think now

We don't usually get them as the deliverers can't be bothered to come up the (not very long) drive. The few we do get, I turn inside out having crossed out the logo, relabel and use for any clothes we are putting into the Salvation Army collection bin.

I agree with Jaxjacky I also take a bag locally rather than have it conveniently picked up outside my front door and where does it go after that?

I turn the free bag inside out so I am not advertising their wares and use it for rubbish so no wastage.

I wont use these bags I take to charity shops myself or they legit ones come to collect. Too many bogus ones.

So many are bogus, I take unwanted stuff to a charity shop, I know it gets there then.

Anyone like me! Love it when I get a charity bag through the door especially when I’m spring or should I say summer cleaning, it spurs me on to get moving and clearing the things I really should pass on to others.
