Drop Boxes for donated clothing: For profit or charity?
SCHENECTADY - You see the colorful containers in parking lots across the region: drop boxes for used clothing and shoes. You may think that favorite old coat and pair of designer jeans you give away, are going to help someone in need.
But they're also helping a business turn a profit.
We're not talking about the Salvation Army or Good Will here. It's the other boxes that make different claims: that your donations will go to a charity, for recycling, or that you're helping the environment.
In our In Depth report, we track down the owners behind them to ask what's going on.
