I love stories like this.


"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

Man, that is horrific. Those drop off bins are constantly full and you wouldn't need a ladder for the ones around here, unless of course, you got very greedy.

After that earthquake cleaned up Haiti a little bit back in 2010, a bunch of those bins popped up for clothing donations. Turns out that they weren't going to Haiti, nor were the funds from the sale. I mean, I guess you could convert clothing donations into money, but how much? Either way, it was a scam, so I assumed most of them were and validated that by looking up a couple charities listed on those. Don't really see the point in donating into a bin unless you were just going to throw them away and are too lazy to go to goodwill. You don't get a receipt or anything and likely facilitating a scam.

The local homeless shelter, local refugee services, transition services for kids who have aged out of foster care, or deacon's conference are typically the best places to donate used clothing and have it actually go to real people. But even then they don't want someone's old, useless crap that nobody would wear anyway.

I wonder if Goodwill still allows you to fill out your own receipts and claim whatever value you write down for the donations.

Yes they do. They don't want to go on record assessing value. They assume if you lie its on you.
