I have won fabric bundles on Goodwill.com also. I take a laundry basket with me to pick it up. I take the box to my car and open it up. I pull out anything I want to keep and think I want to use and then I take the box with my cast offs right back into the store and re-donate it!

Pretty organized room. I am packing mine up for a move to a new apartment with a large bedroom for sewing. But discovering along the way all the duplicates of crafting supplies and I am so tired of searching to something I really need NOW and taking hours to locate it. My new room has to be organized so I will enjoy more time in there. Oh yeah, the joys of fabric withdrawal!!! Brutal.

I also cringe when people toss fabric away - but then, I didn't actually see what was pitched!
I think many people do not realize how expensive it is to ship fabric - I can cram about 9 pounds of fabric into the larger medium flat rate box - but that costs $11.35 to mail if mailed from a post office, $10.85 if the postage was printed on-line.
I think some folks are willing to give unwanted fabric away - if there would not be an additional cost to them to get it gone!

What I have in 13 gallon trash bags could probably fill close to 10 large flat rate boxes. That's close to 16 bucks a box!
Not to mention the gas and time it takes to lug all that to the post office.......lol
It's easier to throw it away.
