Do not donate your garbage

Tweet

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people donate things that no one can use. They donate clothes that are stained or the zippers don't work. They donate puzzles with missing pieces and books with ripped out pages. It helps no one when these items are donated. If someone buys these items not realizing they are in the condition they are in then they are wasting their money when they get it home and find it us unusable. If someone gets these item into their thrift store for free and finds they are in terrible shape and cannot sell them then they have to pay to throw them away. I pay $3 a bag to throw my garbage away so when others are too cheap to do that it really irritates me. What set me off writing this post and finally being fed up enough about this to write was getting a juicer and going to use it recently and finding that there is no blade inside it so it is absolutely worthless. Great now I have to pay to throw it away because someone else decided to donate it instead of paying to throw it away themselves. I personally know people who donate items that are in terrible shape so maybe when they see my rant on facebook or here they will think twice next time them go to donate things.
