when living in Colorado, my ARC thrift store had a large truck at their back door and someone was tossing bags into the back which was already over 3/4 full of bags that had flattened under the weight. I turned around and went to Good Will. Hopefully some of the items I've given away help people here!! not to be shipped and then dumped on to a poor countries shores as I've seen in the news. I hate waste!
