donation bins
Curbside giving boxes
Donation bins are large containers, typically placed in parking lots or outside businesses, where people can drop off used clothing, shoes, and household items for charity or recycling.
The items go to nonprofit organizations, thrift stores, or textile recyclers.
Quality and legitimacy vary—some bins benefit established charities, others are for-profit operations with misleading labels.
I cleaned out my closet and took three bags to the donation bin.
