RE: Council Rubbish charity shop collections

[85volga]

Informative thread as follows:

This morning I noticed the Southwark rubbish truck picking up charitable donations that had been left outside the Mind charity shop. (Located next to the roundabout on lordship lane and Goose Green)

The workmen were throwing the donations away into the back of the refuge truck.

There is a green bin to the left of the building to place the OOHs donations. However these donations were nicely packed up in boxes outside the door, perhaps they could have left them, but all the same be aware of this practice if you don't wish your charitable gifts binned.

" be aware of this practice if you don't wish your charitable gifts binned."

don't charity shops have signs up asking people NOT to leave stuff outside the shops anyway?

They do. And the Council has a whole charity donation area at the Recycling site off the OKR where I presume they take them
