    Anyone know if there are any charity shops (or something similar) that take bags of old clothes in Blanch?

    There's a couple in the Village (either side of Abrakebabra), herself brought a few bags of clothes and handbags to them recently and they were more than happy to accept them (St. Vincent de Paul moreso than NCBI)

    There are at least 2 in the village. SVP and another (the name escapes me at the minute). They are nearly next door to one another. Kinda across the road from Brownes restaurant.

    There's a Pieta House clothes container (not the small bin types which are always full) in Coolmine Recycing Centre

    There's a cash for clothes place in Coolmine Industrial centre over where Dave McCann tyres are. Something like 60c per kilo which might bring you a few euro if discarding of a few bags

    Dont bother with these scammers, theyre all selling the clothes on eBay for huge profit. Give them to a local charity shop that'll appreciate them and go towards a good cause.

    Just dont put them in those metal bins - from a documentary on RTE a while back - those are run by companies that give a very small donation to the big stickered names on the bins - the charities do not get what you put in.

    I am aware of a number of charities who collect directly from their own labelled bins, from which they receive 100% of the clothes donated.
    Please be sure of "your facts" when relying from memory in relation to a TV documentary, which was broadcast a number of years ago.

    Well if you know - could you give us the list of those who do run their own bins - it would be most welcome and I/we might start using those in the future.

    As it is I drop everything to the charity shop of my choosing directly.


    There is also this to think of when using those outside bins:
