The consignment stores near our home only accept clothes that are within 2 years old or newer and is branded.
I am looking for a Japanese equivalant of "goodwill" - if there is such a thing. If not, do I just throw it away on burnable garbage day? It just seems to be a waste.
Give the stuff to a homeless person on the streets in Vancouver (I assume that's where you live) - or an institution that helps them - like a church (unless you're talking about golf shoes or fashion items). Especially cold weather clothing (winter is coming). Old clothes basically aren't worth shipping anywhere. If you really want to help people in need anywhere - send money. It's by far the most useful thing you can donate. Robyn
