    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.
