    I think it goes without saying but please don’t donate garbage to your local thrift store. In most cases they aren’t even gonna put it on the shelf.

      YOU SAY THAT - and are totally right - but that does bring back that memory I’ve got of seeing an utterly disgusting beer brewing kit being sold in the box for $10. The entire store smelled like decay.

        I used to volunteer at my local thrift store and that sometimes meant going through donation boxes to determine what was worth keeping. Sometimes those bags had actual garbage in them. Lots of older men who didn’t wash the back of their neck (or if they were in a home the nurse didn’t)

        We had two bags in the back for stuff we didn’t keep. If it was actual garbage it went in the trash. If it was just unlikely to sell and someone was willing to make the trip it would go to Goodwill.

            Looking back I provided absolutely zero context to that statement lol.

            Their shirts. Men’s button-up shirts, especially if they were white, would always have a big brown stain on inside collar where the shirt would rub up on the back of your neck. Those went in the trash.
