From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smith Family clothing bins at the
Duffy shopping centre in
Canberra, Australia. These bins have been vandalised, and have had rubbish placed outside them.
A clothing bin is a container in which clothing is placed to be donated to charity organizations (e.g., the Salvation Army or Smith Family) or for recyling in other ways. They are typically provided by the charities themselves or by local authorities.
Bins are often vandalised or filled with unsuitable materials (including rubbish). These are costly for the organizations concerned to dispose of, and this misuse has at times lead to bins being withdrawn. On the spot fines are often threatened through signs on the bins.
