how is recycling any different? people should at least give to goodwill

>>11691653
All goodwill does it sell the shit in their store if they think they can make a profit off it. They are scalpers using donated items to sell. I'd rather throw things in the trash than allow a scummy company to profit off items they claim are being donated to the needy.

I understand being too lazy to sell it online, but if you have a local store that you can trade it in, all you have to do is bring it in and they make you an offer. Yeah, it’ll usually be lower but it’s infinitely better than just throwing it away.

Goodwill is scummy (and worse shady online), but they do some actual charitable shit. Most organizations won't take even new (like the actual figure in a BAF wave or the hedgehog from the DC 2pack in their clamshell) because they are "opened." I tried donating them to the fire department that does the annual Christmas toy drive.

People should donate to a local thrift that benefits a school district or church or something else that's in their area.

Yes, Yes
That's exactly what the plastic rotting your brain wants you to believe.
Keep going on and soon your brain will be more plastic than most.

Thanks man, most people don't believe in my dream.

>>11691666
But going to the store still requires more effort than just throwing it away, I'm not saying I do this BTW, I'm just telling you why people do it.

>>11691647
When they get sick of stuff wasting space, and they know they can't sell it to recover what they spent.

>>11691653
Yard sales and flea markets are full of stuff that people are just not buying. Even thrift stores have a hard time moving it, so they tend to bundle it in cheap grab-bags because selling off stuff piece by piece is cumbersome. Face it: 99% of all toys made in the 2000s is a waste of plastic that'll never be worth shit.

This shit's especially true for pop vinyl where it's settling in with the people who bought that stuff that they bought into a fad that was destined to crash.

cuz they are motherfuckers, i hope they die

>>11691734
That's an evil thing to say. You have to accept that a lot of shit is just worthless.

>What makes people throw toys in the trash containers?
My town used to have donation boxes, and both goodwills near me rejected donations because they were "closed". I didnt want to waste any further time and my hand was forced

I get really sad when I see discarded plushies specifically

>>11691647
Sometimes I feel like a scumbag when I dump off really cheap toys at my local charity shop. Like McDonalds tier toys, stuff I struggle to image them selling for 50c

>>11691647
I threw out my NECA
>godzilla 1954
>2014 godzilla
>shin godzilla
>pennywise
>alien warrior
>city hunter predator
and will probably throw out my gow 3 kratos and celtic predator
I'm just not into NECA anymore, they suck

I don't throw toys, even if they break, even if I don't like it that much anymore

>>11691647
It could be forced downsizing, because of a move or eviction.

I have so so much I'd like to sell but the very idea of sorting it, taking photos, making listings on eBay or posts on social media and dealing with a bunch of fucking spergs lowballing the fuck out of me or saying they want to buy something and then ghosting as soon as you respond and then after weeks of back and forth having to pack up 40 different packages and make all the labels and then go to the post office makes me want to kill everyone and then myself.

So I'll probably just throw most of it away.

>>11691647
Are you going through other peoples trash?

>>11691647
people who just throw toys that aren't broken in the trash are actually kinda fucked up
It doesn't need to go to a collector or whatever but I assure you some kid out there would enjoy playing with it and that's why we have thrift shops and stuff

>>11693433
That always does make me sad. But it makes me happy that my local dump staff actually seem to rescue as many as they can and use them to decorate their offices and buildings, they’re literally covered with toys and plushies.
