Delbow Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Has anyone managed to donate these recently? I tried Emmaus before Christmas but they weren't able to accept them and they're still not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them a bit sniffy about stuff that you take in. It's humiliating for donors to have to go up to the desk and have the woman say no we won't accept this or that item. I've had to take items home again. No wonder people would rather drop off bin bags in the doorway when they are shut. There must be child care settings that would welcome this stuff? We are snowed under with brightly-coloured plastic and would love to pass it on to organisations that can make use of it. I've passed on a few bits via Freegle and the welcoming charity shops but we could do with a place to drop off bags of the stuff that the kids have outgown.

They've always been fine with us, also Mind were good at taking ceramic and odd knicnaks shoes and clothes usually saw then in the window next day. but i get what you're saying, I think charity shops will take more things when their stocks are low. I know that they have to pay a collection service for the items being binned out the back, so most charity shops are like that now, I guess they know their market and want quick turnarounds.

Bilge Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Yes generally Barnardo's are pretty good actually. We've also bought a fair bit of stuff in their stores so it does get re-used/recycled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
