'No charity bags' sign

114 Posts
Can anyone point me in the direction of a printable, online 'no charity bags' notice which I can put up?
I am getting heartily fed up with the torrent of these non-green, useless things coming through my letter box and I'm amazed that charities don't seem to realise how much they are putting people's backs up in this way.
This is a repeat of a post in the charities forum.

a charity.
Lots of them are misleading, I checked one up and the company reg no. was a haulage business who knew
nothing about the collectors using their company number.
Companies house already knew about the dodgy collections.
Leaflets stopped for a few months then restarted with a similar name and another random company number.
One claimed to have donated a large sum of monmey to a charity but when i checked that charity online their
statement showed the whole 3 months to have received less than the company said they donated in one month.
I spotted a scruffy white van pickup a bag from outside my neighbours, Only one bag from several left.
I wonder if they are helping themselves to bags from other collectors.
Whole thing is full of scams.
Maybe, rather than be annoyed about receiving them you could utilise them somehow (like I do).
Anyone got any ideas of what to use them for other than reinforcing black bags?

I saw stickers on ebay recently to put on your letterbox that say no takeaway menus, junk mail and no charity bags.
One of the charity shops I walked past last week, did warn that there are people doing this.

In my experience the vast majority of the bags I get - and lots of them ! are genuine.
It must be self defeating, because when I do have stuff to get rid of, I make a point of taking it to shop that hasn't stuffed a plastic bag thru' my door.
But they are handy for cleaning out the cat's litter tray
