May 18, 2026 Hey everyone! I have 2 bags of clothes — some items are in good condition and I’d like to donate them, while others should probably go for recycling. I saw some donation/recycling bins near ShopRite and Best Buy but I’ve heard many times that some of those bins are scams. Does anyone know where I can bring the clothes? Preferably not NYC. Thanks!
