Charity Bags!

The ones I receive are all for different charities but if I read the small print they are all sent out by the same company! I understand the charity is lucky if it gets 10p for every £1 the company makes. Like others I take mine direct to a shop run by a local charity. Most charity shops will take worn out clothes and sell them on to what we used to call rag merchants

We live in a new town and there are no charity shops. We regularly get bags from the British Heart Foundation which are collected in marked vans so we do put them out. Other than that we have OxFam collection skips at Sainsburys which we sometimes use when they aren’t full.

Fine if you can get to a charity shop. Had a talk at my club about scams and apparently it varies whether the collections are genuine. Trades Description can tell you.

I turn the bag inside out, fill it with items and take it to a charity shop.

We use them for the bins. Old clothes etc go to our local community shop or Edinburgh Sick Children's charity bins.

I do not use the majority of these bags as I believe most are bogus, so will pass anything on to our church jumble sale which, afterwards, goes to local charity shops.

Same as Davida1968.

We rarely get them but when we do they are usually for very well known charities. They always seem to arrive at the wrong time when I have just sent stuff to the local op shop.

Apologies if this has been put ... BUT ... read the back ... as the charities do not receive the goods ... a percentage of the money of the tonnage thats weighed in ... take it to a charity shop would get more money in selling the goods themselves ... such a shame when people give especially expensive clothes that do not go to the actuall charity ... when they think it does
