Is there still bins by the theatre to donate clothing? If not where the best place to take clothes in Brandon?

They are located at sportsplex, 34th and Victoria recycling area, 1st and Richmond recycle area and supper store parking lot.

I’m not sure if the bins are still there. I donate to Nearly New (across from Superstore). Profits from there support the hospital.

They moved to just east of 34th street. If you're at Victoria & 34th, look north and you can see the recycling bins through the trees.

Thank you everyone

and profits from the diabetes bins support diabetes research to attempt to find a cure, also a good reason to declutter.

Profits from the bins go to Valu Village employees and then what little is left over goes to diabetes research. Whereas with the Nearly New Shoppe, all proceeds go to the Brandon Hospital for new equipment and beds etc because it is a volunteer run business.

Some people too rummage through the bins and take valuable items and sell them.....

Actually this is incorrect. Donations from the Red Bins is SOLD to Value Village for profit for the Diabetes Association/Research. What VV does after its sold to them, is up to them (to resell for profit). So Diabetes does infact profit. If you don't believe me, phone the number on the bin and ask. I did!  
 
Feel free to donate to whatever association you would like, but please don't spread misinformation.
