I recently moved and haven't utilized the service here. But back in Michigan I believe they were called the "Purple Heart" and they would leave a leaflet on our door letting us know when they would be in the area. Also, you could call them if you had a large load and they would set up a time for pick up. My guess is that they contacted other places in the neighborhood and structured the pickups together.

Also, I increasingly see large drop off bins at gas stations where you can deposit your old, unwanted clothes.

One thing that I know we will do is give all of our babies clothes to charity. We'll do this once we are sure we aren't having any more. Also her toys.
