clothing bank


Recommended Posts

There used to be one next to the Mind shop at the Goose Green roundabout - not sure if it’s still there… Can’t think of one nearer other than remember vague talk about there being ones in the car park on Peckham Rye? St Chrisopher’s charity shop on Lordship Lane also take bags for ragging. Hope you find one!

the two clothing banks beside the mini-supermarket at the junction of Upland Road and Hindmans Road have disappeared.

 

 

I'm not surprised.


I once saw two women pulling stuff out of them and just leaving it on the pavement (presumably after taking what they wanted).


I take clothes which aren't good enough for a charity shop to sell to the hospice shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".


They recycle them somewhere, can't remember where.

Is there a reason you can't donate to a charity shop? We have 3 or 4 on Lordship Lane.


Alternatively Traid (they have a branch in Peckham) will come and collect from you.


If the clothing is too tatty to sell on many charity shops will accept it sorted into separate bags as "rags" which they get paid for (as Sue said earlier in the thread).


The recycling centre on Old Kent Road also accepts fabric recycling, goes without saying.

The quality of stuff in charity shops is generally quite high and the quality of anything I'm throwing away is generally quite low, so I had assumed charity shops wouldn't want it. Perhaps I should sort it again.


The BHP shop on the Old Kent Road took away more than a dozen bags of clothing when my husband died but that was relatively good stuff.

I looked up Tvind on Wikipaedia, thanks for the reference.

    • That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this? 
    • I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?
    • The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside 
    • Couple of potential ideas, anywhere in the East Dulwich areas or say close to the station?
