Salvation Army — Drop-off locations throughout Brooklyn
The Salvation Army says its clothes remain in the community. You can also donate unused children's furniture such as cribs or high chairs. Pickup service is available on select days only. Some locations can get booked in advance; otherwise, visit a local branch or drop-off spot.

St. Mary's Church — Clinton Hill

Wearable Collections — Various locations
Instead of going out to donation locations, why not bring the bin to you? Wearable Collections helps residents and building managers install clothing and shoe collection bins in their buildings to make recycling clothes as easy as, well, recycling anything else. If you can't get a bin in your building, use its website to search for a nearby Greenmarket that is home to one of its bins like the Carroll Gardens market.
