Does anyone know where (if anywhere) in Seoul that I can donate used clothes? I have so many clothes that I dont want to take home with me when I leave, and I feel really uncomfortable throwing them away, when they're in perfectly good condition.

Cheers!

I'm sure any church would gladly accept them. You could ask around at work.

I emailed the Red Cross for you. I'll post their reply as soon as I get it. Speaking of which, there are a bunch of places to donate blood in Korea.

Possibly the orphanages too. Some of them have older kids who could probably use them.

There are big clothing donation bins in most neighborhoods. They look like oversized mailboxes, ( about 4.5 feet high or so), and I'm told they give the clothes away to homeless people.

Is that what those giant, green mailboxes are? There's one on my corner, and I thought it was just a really big mailbox.

yeah, they're clothing donation boxes, though I'm pretty sure they take bedding and such too.

Check out the landing between the first and second floors of most apartment buildings. They have the big green bins, too.
