we have had 3, yes THREE charity clothing collection bags through the door IN THE PAST 48 HOURS!!!!
if they have done the whole village thats about 2100 plastic bags that have been delivered round here - and of course, each one is individually wrapped in its very own plastic wrapper too.
So, aside from the fact that much of what we pass on to family/friends/freecycle, they would not actually deem fit to sell in a charity shop, and we even recycle all other clean but not wearable textiles to raise money for the school PTA, this really annoys me
having seen who puts out the bags on collection day, its about 3 bags for our close of 18 houses - on the times i have left the empty bag to be collected, it has been left
surely there are better ways for charities to function? surely this is a huge waste of money, time, fuel and plastic for very little return? anyone who has quality/designer clothes they want to pass on cos they are last seasons fashion will do so anyway!!
I still cannot believe we have had 3 in 2 days!!!!! 2 are for collection on the same day too!! LOL - that will be funny, will have to keep me eyes peeled friday to see if the shelter collector nicks stuff left out in the help the aged bags and vice versa!!
sorry folks, rant over!
