I have seen just outside my house in El Galeon Adeje a clothes bank think it was yellow...... maybe there are others in your area.
Or not forgetting the charity shops.

When clearing out my parents apartment a few years ago I donated all the clothing and various bits of bric a brac to the local Anglican church in Puerto de la Cruz. The church holds jumble sales on a regular basis and all proceeds go to the poor. The vicar also explained that much of the clothing goes direct to the poor in need. Donation to a good cause does give one the 'feel good' factor.

Also I take mine to Santa Rita Dos here in the North they also have a shop but do sort a lot for the residence some have no relatives to buy them anything so it is a worthwhile cause.

The Lions shops either in Silencio or Los Cris.If you contact them usually they are able to arrange collection I beleive.

If you don't get around to any of the above mentioned places. there are also the charity/used clothes and shoes recycle containers on the streets now.
They ask that you bundle clothing in plastic bags and pairs of old shoes also each pair in a separate bag.

These containers are a beige colour and are the largest of the recycle containers now on many streets on the island.

Yes it is Amy. The takigs from that particular shop buys food and vet care for our dogs in the Fasnia refuge. We sent almost €2800 worth of food last month. All receipts are posted on our facebook page, Live Arico P.A.W.S. tenerife. Thanks for thinking of us. :)
