Hi there

As the title states, I have some clothing that I'm looking to donate just wondered if any of you local guys have any recommendations. I did spot a metal charity container the other day just opposite the paint shop in the marina area (along from Plaza La Lota). It just didn't give me much a clue as the where the donations would end up.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

In the UK most is sold and sent to India .. in Spain give them to local church and they give them to the poor..

Jan 31, 2012 – The trade in used clothes is second-hand fashion's ratty little secret. And it goes all the way back to that container down your street.

Thanks for your response. I work in the charity sector in the UK so I'm used to donating to charity shops were all goods are sold directly out of each shop, I've never used one of the 'bins' I mentioned due to the fact that I've never been certain the donations will go were I'd like them to go.

See links (in Spanish) to Madre Coraje (a NGO):

Also (in Spanish) helpful info from Ecologistas en Acción on reuse/recycling of clothing. Scroll down to the paragraph on "La ropa de segunda mano":

Finally, in Spanish again, the Cáritas Diocesana Huelva connection with the "equipo de cáritas" of a local church in Ayamonte:
