I read with interest the recent article, “Generosity comes with a cost” (May 21) about donors dumping unusable items at Goodwill stores.
I recently delivered a box of very nice glassware carefully wrapped and in a box marked “Fragile/Glass” to a contact-free, drive-up Goodwill store in Baltimore County. From the driver’s seat, I watched in dismay as the staff member opened the box and unceremoniously dumped the contents into a very large bin to the sound of shattering glass.
I suppose I could have saved them the labor cost by taking my donation directly to the county landfill.
