I volunteer once a fortnight to 'sort' the items donated to our local well known charity shop.
There are two of us, and after donning rubber gloves (yes, you do need them), we get to work sorting through about seventy bags.
Some of the items get discarded straight away as highly unsuitable or filthy.
However, my post is about leaving goods out for collection in WET weather.
This week i found a bag of really lovely (expensive) summer dresses completely soaked and mildewed as they had been left out in the rain.
I sneaked them home, washed and dried them and took them back to the shop (we really are not supposed to do that!).
The dresses sold within days, and I wonder why people who take time and trouble to select items for charity don't place them in a black bin liner with the charity bag over the top.
Please!
