Aka, trash by proxy.

Best to look up what people actually need. There is a lot of this junk we collect that just gets junked by the donation groups turning into a cost center.

Donating to donation groups isn't a great donation. It's better to catalog and post each item, communicate with people who want it, and thereby find it a new home that's right for it. Granted, this is not possible for all items, especially never for clothing.
