If you saw them throw the things onto the ground then they are likely to be officially littering and Meath County Council litter warden / environment section should be really interested in what evidence you can vouch for. I think there is a distinct unease among the Council's of Ireland as the individuals claim to be not transporting waste which would require them to be licenced. But because anyone who leaves them out a bag is gifting the clothes to them thus its not waste. However if they are littering our fair County then the Council may have something to chase them on.

OP - If you are seriously annoyed as you appear to be from your posts then it may be worthwhile following up with the Council.

I used to use teh bags for bin-liners. They've stopped giving the bags lately, now I just get a flyer advising of a collection date. I leave all of my un-used clothes to the local hospice.

FOXFISH1

yea, pity they don't leave the bags anymore. it's the bad english that makes me suspicious of their intentions, most of the guys leaving the leaflets seem to be eastern european too.....as previously said, it wouldn't be so bad if they were honest and said that they were selling the clothes on for a profit, but it makes me angry when i suspect that these folks are trying to con me..do they think we came down with the last shower!!!

mambo

These guys have even set up a website:

http://www.clothescollection.eu/

And it's as full of mispellings as their leaflets.

I stuck up a "No junk mail" sign on my door which stopped these, that awful Alive! magazine and restaurant flyers being delivered to my house, but this week got one of the fake charity bags.

And if Damien English TD, Cllr. Suzanne Jamal or Cllr. Jim Holloway are reading this, I will NOT BE VOTING FOR FINE GAEL, as they put a flyer through my letter box I did not ask for this week as well. The only two flyers I have received since I put up the sign two months ago.....

Placed a sign on our letter box a few weeks ago - no free news letters or junk mail , seems to have worked !!:)

Every monday morning they come in the door, I don't give them anything and wouldn't mind them collecting at all except for the chartiy references they constantly make, surely there must be a law against such false representaions - deception, it's a little thing but really sticks in my craw.

After months and months of stickers............suddenly it stopped!!!
Have I spoken to soon??:rolleyes:

Whatever about the clothes ending up in charity shops here or in the north, some of them are shipped to developing countries to be sold, where they undercut the local industries and end up doing a lot more harm than good.

They got my 17 year old rotten Feile tent last week (was doing an attic clear out)

I have serious beef with this so called organisation... like everyone else here, they seem to like waking us up around 4 in the morning, 2 nights a week.. EVERY week even though we give them nothing. Been meaning to try get hold of them for ages but last night was the final straw... We get our milk cartons delivered to out house and my partner forgot to take it in last night... this morning he took it in and noticed it was lighter than usual. He opened the lid and the bloody thing had been opened and drank from. And surprise suprise we had a viltis letter in the letter box. Now if one of the kids had taken in the milk they would not have realised that it had opened and someone had their mouth on it... Its bad enough the cut across all the gardens in out street instead of using the gates, and in doing so waking up all the dogs on the street ( We have a bloody wolf next door and two dogs of our own) at 4am but to touch our property and leave it there for us to use is not on. I'd rather they took the entire thing away with them. Does anyone here have a number or address for who runs them in the south east???? tried the mobile number that is posted and an eastern european lady answered and played dumb!
