Q. We are spring cleaning at our home. Some items are recyclable, what advice may BBB suggest?
A. As we enter the spring months and perhaps develop the courage to clean our closets and consider making in-kind donations to charities of the things we don’t use or no longer fit, consider these tips to help avoid being disappointed in how these contributions are used.
Jim Winsett of the BBB. Keep, donate or trash?
Don’t assume that charities will accept all second- hand items. Usually, they are looking for items in “good” condition. Ripped sweatshirts or torn jeans will likely be rejected. If uncertain about what the charity will accept, contact them before making the gift.
