These "for-profit" clothing bin companies really irk me.
H & M is NOT a 501(c)(3) federally exempt corporation. That means the used article of clothing you give to them (in exchange for nothing) goes towards lining their pockets and increasing their bottom line. Don't be fooled. Always carefully read the outside of metal clothing bins before dropping off your clothes.
Just because H & M donates to other organizations doesn't make them a not-for-profit company. Goldman Saks and McDonalds make donations all the time to different organizations but I wouldn't consider them charities. They're all in the business of making a profit, just like H & M.
In my opinion, your clothing is better off going to traditional non-profit companies like the Salvation Army or Goodwill Industries. Look for their logos or go online to find the nearest collection center to you. read more
