More rules from their donation guidance, in their own words — these don't have their own page on this site yet:
- Can't accept Items left outside shops when closed — “It's also very important that you don't leave donations outside when the shop is closed. We cannot accept these, and it costs the charity time and money to have them disposed of.”
