This is how charity collections work: bright pink plastic bags are distributed in the mail boxes, people fill them with good condition used items, mainly clothing, and leave them on the footpath for collection the following day.

    We have similar things to this here, but recently it has been reported that many of these collections have not been genuine charities but opportunists who have then sold on the donations at second-hand markets.

    Nice. Over here in India it is a lot more difficult.
