I discovered the corporation behind the yellow ‘planet aid’ clothes drop boxes actually re-sell the clothes and then use the profits to help communities in Africa and Asia.
On the way to learning this, I also discovered that while i try really hard not to be a pack rat, i unabashedly am one . I delivered 5 trash bags of old clothes to my local drop off and threw away so much old jewelry it filled half a shopping bag from Macy’s.
