When I took german classes, our teacher said people in Germany never threw furniture away. Instead, they just put them in a big pile outside and, like your old clothes, someone would pick it up.
I'm interested. Do you call this organization saying you've got some clothes in a box in fornt of the house or is it a periodical service they provide?

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.
