There is a drop off area at our local refuse dump where things that are in good condition can be donated and picked up by those who need them. I've left clothes and household items there and have picked up some things there for myself and others as well. When there is no longer a use for them, they are returned to the drop off. I've seen wheel chairs, crutches, other medical supplies, computers, furniture, exercise equipment etc sitting there waiting to be put to use.

It is a really good service as many people resist going to second hand stores, swap meets or asking for charity. At the drop off center, no one asks any questions and the staff just keep things in order.

With love, Erika
