'No charity bags' sign
Comments
-
This free supply of bin liners has now taken a turn for the worse in my area - a couple of the firms are just delivering self-adhesive labels which you have to stick on your own bags. :eek:Stuff that.
I always, always, always, hand in, IN PERSON, to a local charity shop. Even using charity-branded clothing banks isn't a safe alternative - the Salvation Army are in trouble with the Fundraising Standards Board over the company that run their clothing bank collections (they pocketed £10 million whilst passing on £16.3 million to the charity).0 -
So frustrating! It's hard when you are trying to make a difference and make conscious decisions to be eco-friendly and then things like this feel so far out of your control to make a change!0

and I was considering putting a sign on it that said"Place all direct mail - unaddressed mail - charity bags
directly in here

:rotfl:or something similarFight Back - Be Happy0 -
I am very tempted to put them back outside my door after filling them with ferret litter...
Haven't had the guts (or organisation to get it out on the right day) to actually do it yet!Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0
