Giving unwanted items away

[CareerChange24]

I don’t like Facebook donations. I’ve been deterred from using charities and many of my belongings they would want. Who could I give, or should I just bin - so before covid I was a size 8/10 maybe 12 in some, a million varieties of makeup - power, eyeshadow, brushes, and a separate pile or recent nail polishes ours hates two years ago but no I will only ever had Biab. I have skincare that’s recent. La Roche posay etc. but after finding what works for me I’ll be sticking to that so will have to bin all of them and they have the end of 27 as the date. much more than I havent even thought of and I’d love to give to a young girl but either she may think ughhh what do I need outdated crap off an old woman (I’m 35) and at 16 that’s ancient or there parents may see it as patronising which I really wouldn’t want to offend. I don’t know my neighbours very well but they have a daughter around this age???

Nobody wants your old make up or nail polish
srick your clothes in a bag and take to tip and place in the fabrics recycling bit. Or some supermarkets have the big recycling bins for clothing

Freecycle or Freegle, or Olio

One person's trash is anothers treasure, people buy old make up and nail varnish at car boots all the time so I think the first poster is being unfair. I put everything I want to give away in a box on my driveway - does the trick for me!

Make up shouldn’t be passed on if part used for hygiene reasons.
Clothes to charity shop of choice.
Lots (if not all) really do help the charity.
Of course there will be some money which goes on admin if that is your objection but overall it still makes money for a good cause.

I give stuff like that away on our local facebook freebies group it always gets snapped up super quick.

Anglo Doorstep Collections take cosmetics and toiletries if they are at least half full. They pick up from your front door. They also take clothes.

You can sell your clothes by the kilo if you dont want to give them to charity, its not a lot - 50p a kilo or something like that

A lady near us collect things like perfumes and lotions for the local old persons home, she says the ladies love the perfumes and some of them don't have anyone. Not sure if any near you, or if they would accept make up, but polish?

You need to check out local initiatives and organisations. I give things to an organisation locally that hands out used clothes to people in need in the local community. They’ve just in the middle of their very busy back to school drive, and over the summer they were at lots of local children’s sporting events, handing out free used sportswear. There’s also a local organisation that I give things to for older kids: it’s a place where homeless teens can live, and they’re always crying out for things that can give them at Christmas. I have given them stacks of unused cosmetics, skin care, bath stuff. My previous Hairdresser used to collect for a local women’s refuge as well, they are always very grateful for such things.
