I give what is definitely usable to St. Vincent dePaul at my church. If it is not usable due to stains, being broken, or missing parts, I toss it. I feel OK with that because I…"
Sharon McClelland replied to Mary Alice Teti's discussion Where are your bags going: Trash or Good Will? in the group 40 Bags in 40 Days"I've been doing the "three bags" system also. I have a donate bag, a give to friend/family bag (only if I've talked to them about it- otherwise it'll create work at their house) and a trash bag filling at the same time.
One…"

Diane replied to Mary Alice Teti's discussion Where are your bags going: Trash or Good Will? in the group 40 Bags in 40 Days"I hear what you are saying.
