Does anyone know of a good organization in the Seoul area where I can donate some of my clothes that I don't wear anymore? How would I go about donating? Do I have to schlep all the stuff to a donation center or are there places that do free pick ups? Any information would be helpful.

This comes up a bit-

have a look around your neighborhood for big green( sometimes brown) metal boxes that look like giant mail boxes. You can drop stuff in them if there's one around, otherwise, run a search here on "the beautiful store".

You should be able to find donation boxes all over the place. There are 3 of them spaced along my short residential street alone & I see them emptied quite regularly. As I understand it, suitable items are distributed to disadvantaged local families, orphanages, etc, & the rest is shipped as donations abroad.
