Hi...I'm in the Seoul area and was wondering, if I have any clothes that I want to donate to a charity (like a Korean Goodwill) can I actually do that here?

They're around. Look up YWCA in the phone book. There's a neighbourhood shop in Ulsan here. And another sort of recycled goods shop tucked near an overpass and gas station, low rent I guess, for the venue. I've seen a used goods place in Chuncheon, when I lived there.

There are used clothing donation bins in most neighborhoods. I have no idea where those clothes end up, though.

Thanks, but I think if all I have to do is walk down the street to dump my things off, then that would be the highest ranked option right there. Laughing
