Hi, I have 10 baby bottles that we never used. It seems a shame to throw them away, would a charity shop take them???Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear
Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
Are thinking of you today.0 -
Hi sure Charity shops will welcome any items, especially if they have not been used.. :T :T0

The charity i work for would only take them if they are sealed so we are sure the packaging has never been opened therefore knowing they have never been used.

I agree freecycling is probabaly your best bet. Charity Shops have many rules and regulations about the type of things that they can sell. I used to manage a charity shop and would not have sold these.0

Ring the charity shop and ask them - rather than lugging them (plus baby!) down to the charity shop.
I took my digital camera with a photo of go kart given to ds that he didnt use -instead of dragging it down there for them to say no!!! I didnt think they would want it as it was so big - but they took it and it was snappped up.
womens refugee or freecycle are also fab ideas.Debt free May 2016 (without the support of MSE forum users that would never have been possible - thank you all)0 -
I volunteer in a charity shop and unfortunately due to Health and Safety restrictions we can only take bottles that are still in the original packaging. However, womens refuges and as far as I am aware Homeless charities in London (drop off centres) do take them. If not freecycle them. See MSers freecycle board.0
