Drop Box or Location to Donate used Clothing

[hoolio]

I've been trying to clear out a bunch of stuff that I either don't use or don't wear, and have discovered that I have a large selection of barely touched clothing that was probably purchased under lights of a "60% off the lowest priced tag" sale. Considering the season and the economy, I think it would be a shame to throw it in the trash, but there seems to be a distinct lack of Salvation Army or Goodwill drop boxes around.

Aside from actually driving downtown and having to locate parking to drop it off at a shelter directly, does anyone know an easily accessible used clothing drop box location where I can donate this stuff? Centretown would be preferred.

Even if there isn't anyone on the streets who could fit in my pants, I'm sure they could sew up the legs, put a door on, maybe move in a few small appliances and have a nice little cabin to ride out the winter. **Saving JV some effort

I saw this truck yesterday when I was pulling out of Tim Hortons and vowed to remember the website, but then I remembered that I had a double chocolate donut in the bag and that was the end of that.

Thanks for the info lads.
