[quote=Anonymous]People have hugely varying definitions of “gently used” and some people just refuse to throw anything away. Nonprofits that take donations are mostly in the trash business. Throwing things away is just the cost of getting donations. But in a neighborhood swap, if you throw away 50% of the donations, people will notice and care. The book curating volunteer had the right idea. Focus on surfacing the good items. Have a policy of trashing what’s left. I don’t know about the petworth one but this sort of thing isn’t usually framed as charity for “the poor,” it’s just a big swap of hand me downs. But of course, you don’t have to donate to “shop” and that’s great. [/quote]
