This tip goes out to all you frugal living people who remember to give back! Donations can often be nothing more than someone looking for the use of a free dumpster, and gently used is the key.

This is SOOO important! ...I'm an avid thrift-shopper & I know how frustrating it is to try to find the right cord that goes with your item. I also know for a fact that the person who sorts & prices the items at the second-hand store will just throw the item away if all the parts aren't taped on. He or she won't take the time to look through the box to find all the parts. It's such a treat to find everything all taped together & an extra bonus to find a note written on the tape it that says how it works!
Don't Donate to Salvation Army. Choose Goodwill instead. Prices are too high for those less fortunate.
Just one example of my experiences at Salvation Army, was a recent donation including a playstation steering wheel, still in the box, instructions included.
I love to donate all clutter and I like your idea. I try to use baggies and such and include batteries, light bulbs, etc. Sad to say, too many people 'donate' (trash!) just to get away with not paying the pennies for garbage service. I am currently living in a town that makes garbage service mandatory, bundled with the water and sewer bill, and it makes people put their trash with trash and not in ditches, back roads or 'donated'. Good tip, glad you posted that.
