Toiletries (toothpaste, soap, razors etc)

Back to main page

Do you really need to give away toothpaste, soap, etc?

These items are all consumables, but presumably you wouldn't be looking for ways to give them away if using them up yourself was an option. Perhaps you bulk-bought shampoo before realising you're allergic to that brand, or perhaps the toiletries are an unwanted gift.

Who will take used (whatever it is)?

Name of organisation Directly contact the specific organisation or organisations that you have heard will take this item. Ask them if they really take it and ask how to get it to them, then put the details here. Tell people when and how you got the info, e.g. "Source: phone conversation, July 2021."

Not taking/no longer taking (whatever it is)
 * Most of the tips you will get about organisations/categories of organisations taking things turn out to be incorrect, especially since Covid, but adding them here will tell people that you've followed up and got the latest info.
 * You'll probably get more false tips than real tips, so this section is usually bullet-pointed.
 * It's still helpful to add a date and source for the info that an organisation doesn't take something, because if it's been a while things might have changed and it's worth checking again.
