Tossing clothes to the curb in the hopes someone takes them should not be plan A
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images Like many things in New York City, donating clothes is just harder here. Why? Many donation centers are full, and the thought of lugging your unwanted clothes only to get turned down is just too much work. While tempting, tossing clothes outside in the hopes they will be taken or show up on @StoopingNYC should not be plan A.
Anything stained, outdated, too worn, or damaged. Just recycle it. First rule of thumb: Make sure the items you are donating are in good condition. Donating clothes that can’t be sold or used creates a huge burden on small centers. Many don’t have the resources to deal with them, so they get tossed in the garbage. This is the opposite of what anyone is trying to accomplish and could cost the centers money and resources to trash items.
