Clothing Bin Reminder

Thank you so much for recycling your clothes and shoes in our bin in the parking lot. Our school earns funds each month for your donations.

This bin is overflowing at the current time.

Just a friendly reminder to you and those you know who donate that this bin is scheduled to be emptied every Tuesday. If the bin is full when you drop by, please come back another day to drop off your items.

Please do not leave any items or bags around the container if it is full.

Please also do not leave non-collection items by this bin. For example: a local donor left bags of accent pillows on the side of the bin. These types of items should be donated to other organizations. 

This bin is only for clothes and shoes. If you put anything else into this bin, it will be discarded, not donated.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation in keeping our school parking lot area looking clean.

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
