Caroline Bentley 10/20/2019 1:27 PMThe Give Boxes that you can find in various locations around Dundee are great for donating your unwanted household clutter. They are sorted every week by volunteers at The Gate Carbon Project and distributed to local groups that need them. I've been to a couple of their clothes swaps and picked up some great items, all donated through Give Boxes. -
