People often forget that the containers are not another type of trash can, but a place where we donate used items to those in need—items that are in good condition, washed and ironed. They are meant to be a gift for people in need, not a way to dispose of worn-out things we no longer need. A duvet thrown over a blocked flap will no longer be of use to anyone, just like one soaked by rain.

According to the reader, the container in Łaziska is regularly stuffed full, and stronger winds scatter the items that do not fit around the area. When the woman reported this using the number provided on the container, she was referred to another telephone number. The reader considered this an inconvenience. However, the number on the container is the number for the central office, where callers are then given the direct number of the person responsible for the containers in a particular county.
