That’s really useful - thanks Lisa.  From the list of things they will accept it seems like they are after stuff they can sell on line mostly, which is understandable

Please don't leave it outside of Charity shops as it will just be left there for a long time until the bags split open with stuff strewn all around becoming wet and dirty until someone has to clean it all up and take it to the dump.

I just hang onto things until the shops open again - the first lockdown I still had a clear out, but just kept everything in the same place until I could take it to the shop
