　　Here are 10 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings．

　　DO Prep Your Clothes

　　You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated．Before you bag up these pieces,

　　inspect each one to ensure that they’ re in good condition．Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can't see any stains． 37

　　DON'T Donate Damaged Items

　　The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it' s in good,

　　useable condition．Don’t pass along clothes or furniture with rips（裂口 ）or stains,

　　chipped dishes,

　　books that are missing pages, or games with lost pieces．

　　38

　　Find a local company that will recycle these items instead．

　　DO Donate More Than Just Clothes

　　39

　　Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, ornaments, baskets, blenders, dishes, glassware, utensils, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are much

　　sought after donations．

　　40

　　With a little common sense it's easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation．But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought．As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or explosives．
