Places to "donate" unwanted stuff

[Sofarsogood]

Hello,

 

Doing some spring cleaning before my house moving. Is there a better way to dispose of the following than putting them in the thrash bin?

 

- old magazines

- old books

- old items

 

Does places like Salvation Army accept them?

old mags - dump it or sell to garang guni

 

old books - depends on titles.

 

old items - depends...if in good condition can give to salvation otherwise dont dump it to them.

there is a salvation army collection centre at marine parade NTUC (the old Marine Parade library).

Just put in a good plastic bag (in case rain) and leave it there.

 

cheers.

Guys pls make sure you hand over the stuff to the staff at the Salvation Army.

 

I left some stuff, i intend to donate outside the store 's collection point and by the time i came back from breakfast the stuff were taken by the residents. And the staff said they did not see any things outside their collection points.

 

I hope the people that picked it up are really the needy and not some greedy bus-stop.

I guess they are really needy, otherwise why would they need to pick up items meant for needy cared by organisations.

There are still many people in needs but not care or assisted by those charity organisation.

Try sgfreecycle. It's a mailing list where people give things to others out of good will. Just search the mailing list in yahoogroups.

Bishan also got one Salvation Army.

Just put your things in a plastic bag or what.

There will be a shelter there, but you will never know when it will flood.

I just dumped a radio there. (:
