That Pile of "Stuff to Donate" by the Front Door
Been there for weeks? Everyone has one.
You meant to do a charity shop run, but there's never a good time. Car's too small, can't be bothered with the faff, or you just keep forgetting. Meanwhile the pile gets bigger and you're tripping over it.
💡 Pro tip: Decluttering feels amazing once it's actually gone. The hard part isn't deciding to donate - it's getting it out of the house.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to do the charity shop run yourself? Here's how:
📦 Prep your donations
- Sort items honestly - only donate things in good condition
- Bag or box everything by category (clothes, books, household)
- Check charity shop guidelines (most won't take electricals unless working)
- Keep bags/boxes to a manageable weight
🚗 Loading your car
- Heavy items first, at the bottom
- Stack boxes/bags so nothing crushes breakable items
- Clothes bags can fill gaps
- Keep donation receipt/card if you want gift aid
🏪 At the charity shop
- Ring ahead if you've got a lot - some shops prefer appointments
- Many have specific donation hours (not always same as shop hours)
- Ask for help unloading if you need it - volunteers usually happy to assist
- Don't just dump stuff outside when closed - it can get ruined
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Donating broken/damaged items (charity shops have to pay to dispose of those)
- Not checking if shop accepts large furniture
- Turning up 5 minutes before closing with a car-load
- Leaving items outside in bad weather
💡 Pro trick: Phone ahead to check the charity shop can take what you've got, especially furniture or unusual items. Saves a wasted trip.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
♻️ Got rubbish too? If some items aren't good enough for charity shop but need disposing of, I can do a tip run at the same time. Just let me know what's donation and what's waste.
Big declutter? Consider doing it in stages - charity shop stuff one week, tip run another. Breaking it up makes it less overwhelming.
Exeter charity shops appreciate good quality donations. Please don't use them as an easy way to dispose of rubbish - they pay to dispose of items they can't sell.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which charity shop do you take items to?
Your choice - just tell me which one you prefer. Most people pick their favourite local charity in Exeter or wherever's closest to them. If you don't mind, I'll drop at whichever's most convenient on my route.
What items can you take to the charity shop?
Anything a charity shop would accept - clothes, books, toys, small furniture, kitchen stuff, ornaments. I can't take electrical items that don't work or anything broken/damaged that they won't sell. If you're unsure, I'll advise when I collect.
Do I need to bag everything up first?
Helps if you do, but not essential. Bags or boxes keep everything together and protect items in transit. If you've got stuff loose, I'll help load it sensibly. Just have it ready to go when I arrive.
Can you collect from upstairs?
Yes - I'll help carry items down if needed. Wardrobe clearout, kids' old toys from bedrooms, whatever. Just factor in a bit more time if there's lots to move down stairs.
What if the charity shop won't take some items?
Rare, but if they refuse anything (damaged goods, broken electricals), I'll let you know and we can discuss options - sometimes it's better going to the tip. I won't just dump stuff back on your doorstep.
