Millom Network Centre in Millom, Cumbria, is dedicated to helping improve the lives of the local community. It posted on Facebook: \u201cAll items of clothing MUST be in clean\/washed condition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cIt is totally unfair on our dedicated staff and volunteers to have to sort through soiled items of clothing and underwear, not to mention the health risks. Please have respect for our staff and volunteers who have the task of sorting through the clothes &#8211; it is wholly unacceptable.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Putin&apos;s sex-mad gymnast lover under &apos;house arrest&apos; as &apos;uncrowned queen&apos; has no power<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>For more news, click here.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31459752.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_PAY-_Underwear_TRIANGLENEWS_5JPG.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t the first to complain about grim donations. In 2021, a volunteer for a branch of Cancer Research UK&apos;s charity shops in south London hit out at those who drop of dirty clothes.<\/p>\n<p>They said: \u201cWe get dirty pants donated sometimes. We&apos;re not a recycling plant and we&apos;re not a laundrette. Sometimes the smell just comes to you straight away &#8211; you open the bag and it&apos;s like, &apos;whoa&apos;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31459754.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/1_Woman-holding-cardboard-donation-box-full-with-folded-clothes.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31265378.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/1_MAINSOCIAL.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> Almost half a million Brits will get 10% pay rise today due to cost of living<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And a volunteer at a Devon charity shop ranted: \u201cAfter so many years working for a charity as an assistant manager, I can honestly say I must have seen most things donated. I have come across stained and torn clothes, broken ornaments, electrical items with plugs cut off, filthy dirty food mixers, frying pans still with food burnt on, stained bedding and cushions, and filthy cuddly toys that no sane parent would let their child handle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe smell when you open big bags of clothing can be overpowering. I personally hate sorting kids clothing as they are often stained, especially the baby stuff. The sad thing is that for every quality item that we can sell in our shops we have to sort through hundreds more than we can\u2019t sell. I estimate that we keep about 10% of our donations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> And a volunteer at another charity put a video on TikTok and said: \u201cWhat we don\u2019t want is your underwear with holes in that you\u2019ve been wearing for the last 18 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><i>For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking <\/i><i>here.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facebook<\/li>\n<li>Cancer<\/li>\n<li>London<\/li>\n<li>In the News<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/charity-shops-inundated-peoples-dirty-31459736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bookmark Never miss any of the fun stuff.
