A great thing to do when cleaning out. Pass them on!

I Find It Really Sad That This World Has Become A Throw It Away World! Nobody Sews, Mends Or Fixes Anything! It's Become Easier To Buy A New Replacement! My Friend Had A Pants Zipper Brake Instead of Paying $10 To Repair Them She Paid $45 For A New Pair! I Feel People Who Do This Are Just DUMB!

Any items I need to move out that are still useful need to be used by another person.

Why throw away perfectly good clothing or household items that can be re-used. My only issue with donating is some places are not as giving as they proclaim to be. Another issue is due to COVID, so many good organizations stopped taking donations and have yet to start back up.

People rarely buy from me. If I can't find a friend to take it, I donate it. If it is open or unsellable, I donate it to the homeless resource center or to the Salvataion Army (to give, not to sell).

I used to, but I have recently moved to a new state and don't know of any yet.
