ewaste,
ebay stores (check ebay), and outlets for bulk clothing and shoes.........
I have volunteered over a dozen times at a Goodwill. When things get too packed, they throw away good items.
One time, they got a large amount of clothes. Too much in fact. I offered to take the extras off their hands because my church was sending off clothes overseas to people in need, but they refused. I had to throw mountains of clothes in the compact dumpster. :'(
