^We see vans on our security cameras all the time taking donations from our doorway^
But maybe better that MerylStreep than bringing it into the shop to go out through the back door into a skip?
I run two charity shops and although we don't put things into a skip I can see why other shops might, what with quarantining, lack of volunteers and having to have less people out the back due to social distancing, too much stock is a serious health and safety issue and also can break covid regulations if windows and doors are covered by bags leading to lack of air flow. We cant even open bags to sort through and rag until after the quarantine hours have passed, so we have to restrict the days or hours we can accept donations. The abuse my volunteers had to put up with was disgusting so much so that only paid staff are allowed to accept/reject donations. I also really don't blame staff for putting bags left outside straight into the rubbish bins, we don't know how long they have been outside or how many people have rifled through them ,or how many dogs or foxes (or people) have peed on them someof them are in a disgusting state
