"Your "donate" box is most likely filled with clothing, home goods, and other items. Some donation places can take all of these, but some might only be able to take one category of items. Consult the list below to help you decide what donation center or non-profit organization can take your things, or consider giving away your items by posting to an online platform."
"Send clothes to companies that recycle them, such as For Days, which has a Take Back Bag program, or Madewell, in partnership with Cotton's Blue Jeans Go Green™ program, which will take any denim jeans you own and recycle them."
"Go online and join a local Buy Nothing Group, Nextdoor, or Freecycle to give away your things for free. When dealing with an online marketplace, set boundaries on where you are comfortable meeting and how long items will be available before you move on to the next person. Remember to take down the listing once it is gone."
Sort decluttered items into donate and sell boxes. Confirm what specific donation centers or non-profits accept before dropping off items. Consider less-known charities if large organizations are overwhelmed. Use textile recycling programs like For Days and Madewell/Cotton's Blue Jeans Go Green™ for clothing and denim. Give items away locally through Buy Nothing Groups, Nextdoor, or Freecycle, and set clear safety and availability boundaries when meeting people. Remove listings once items are gone. Keep a separate sell box for items intended for sale and choose appropriate marketplaces or outlets for those items.
