I'm getting things through the door and on the lawn all the time. The new form of litter 😉

This mob are from Lithuania and claim to donate £5000 to charity.

However, another use. Shove one in the camelbak and use for something to sit on in the woods when grazing on flap jacks.

I use them to collect bags of dog poo to take down to the bin.
One day I'll forget and leave it by the front door...

I just bin them, take stuff direct to the shop. Too many cons, or stories of genuine collections being nicked by pikey types

As above - take the stuff direct to a charity shop and use the bags as bin bags. It's a con

I've seen a lot of 'charity' leaflets asking for clothes for 3rd world countries, starving children etc. I've seen the guys delivering them and they certainly look 'shifty'. The leaflet text is usually badly written and the charities don't exist. I think they collect the clothes and probably sell them in Eastern Europe. I've no objection to people making money from recycling stuff but claiming the money is going to charity is just dishonest. My nan uses the bags as bin bags (but she is tight!)
