Does anyone know where I can donate used shoes to? Usually it’s easier to donate used clothes because there are big iron boxes around the corner on the street everywhere, but I wonder if there is a place where I can donate used shoes…some are still in good condition but it’s hard to sell it. A place might like Salvation Army in US?
What’s wrong with putting the shoes into the iron boxes? Is that prohibited? I’ve assumed those boxes are for the recycling of general apparel. I’ve also assumed that the items put into those boxes would be made available to underpriveleged people, since actually recycling clothing (grinding, treating, processing) may not be as economically viable yet as, say, plastic- and paper-recycling. What’s the deal anyway?
I was planning to put my unwanted clothes and shoes into one of those before I leave this August. Let me know if you find out something different.
