Thrift shops in Panama City Beach, FL takes a lot more than just clothing donations. The stores, also accept many other things, such as small wooden furniture. Here I will tell you about what kind of furniture you can donate so that the next time you move or redecorate your home, you know where to bring your well-loved leftovers.

Weight Limitations

One of the most important things that you need to know about the types of furniture you can donate is that they must weigh 50 pounds or less. As much as you’d like to get rid of that old living room couch, we must adhere to weight limitations if we want to continue helping people.

Good Condition

Not all donations are equal, unfortunately. If you’re planning to deliver a piece of furniture to us or have us pick it up from you, the piece must be in good condition. If there are scratches, dents, or other damage to the furniture, it won’t be much use to the people who will eventually receive it. Ensure that everything you are donating works properly and is in good condition before giving us a call.

Unspoiled

In addition to the furniture being in good condition, it also must not be too dirty. If you’re digging an old end table out of the attic for donation, give it a quick once-over before you send it our way. You may need to clean it up a little before you can donate it. We’ll gladly take it off your hands as long as it meets these conditions.

Common Furniture Donations

For a few ideas for what you can donate, this list includes some of the common items we get that meet our criteria for donation:

  • Coffee tables
  • Lamps
  • End tables
  • Stools
  • Chairs
  • Plant stands
  • Nightstands

You can use these items as a reference for the kind of furniture we tend to accept. If you ever have any question about a piece of furniture and whether you can donate it, don’t be afraid to give us a call and ask.

What Does Sustainable Fashion Really Mean?

Sustainable fashion is a hot topic right now. Not just because the   eco-friendly materials   used are much better for the planet, but because that tends to go hand-in-hand with   better treatment of people making the clothes , too. Not to mention better treatment of animals. But what does sustainable fashion really mean? What Is the Definition of Sustainable Fashion? At its most basic, the word “sustainable” means something can be maintained at its current rate or level. It can be applied to business: Can a company keep going while earning the same amount of money? It can be applied to the way you’re living your life. You’ve probably been admonished at least once by a well-meaning friend about your packed schedule, poor sleeping habits, or workload. “You just can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.”  The same could be said for how we’re treating the planet, and how we make our fashion. We can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.  We’re pullin...

Fast Fashion and Your Carbon Footprint

Image
    Many of us are aware of the Rana plaza collapse in 2013 that killed nearly 1,134 people. The collapse brought the working conditions in ‘fast fashion’ factories to the attention of the global media. The wages and working conditions for the people making our clothes are some of the biggest motivating factors to shop more ethically. However, another important ethical issue we need to consider is the environmental impact of our garments. We need to consider our carbon footprint. Contributors to the Fashion Carbon Footprint When we think about our carbon footprint we often think about cars, the air miles we clock up, and our household recycling. But what we choose to wear is one of the biggest impact factors on the environment and the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. Fashion is complicated. There are long and varied supply chains of raw material, production, manufacturing, shipping, and retail just to get your clothes to you. There is massive vari...
