Clothing drop-box locations

There's some on 4th ave. around 13th, 14th st.

Corner of 4th Ave and 14th Street. I don't think it is for a charity, though. But if you just want your old clothing to find a new home instead of ending up in a landfill, that's an option.
The Salvation Army on Flatbush and Bergen takes clothing donations -- you can just run in, drop your stuff in the back, and run out again before you get a ticket for parking in the bus stop (not that I would ever do such a thing). There's also a Goodwill on Livingston Street, I think, though I've never been there. -
there is also one on 16 street and fifth ave right around the corner

Yeah, its a hike, but I would rather take my stuff to Goodwill or Salvation army. There have been cases like this:

So unless I researched the "charity" that runs the dropbox, I'd just take it somewhere I already know is legitimate. -
There's another closer to you... 4th ave and 18th.

Wow, I never would have thought that about the dropbox scams. I have a lot of bags so I wanted somewhere I could get to via foot, but it seems like it might be worth it to ask a friend with a car to help out, or take a cab to the Salvy. Thanks all for the info!

I haven't looked at it too closely but there is one on 10th between 4th and 3rd Avenues

If you're going to research the charity that runs the drop boxes, I'd also research salvation arm's affiliations. A friend told me never to give them donations. I can't remember what the issue was. Another suggestion is City Works, which recently opened in Brooklyn Heights. But not walkable.
Howdy, Stranger!
