Donation bins appearing on streets for “FOR PROFIT” organizations. Just say “Clothes, books etc”

People have been conditioned to think that donation bins are all for charity. But now it seem anyone can place a bin that just says “books, clothes, shows”. Then pick the stuff up and list online. I would have thought there were some kind of restrictions on those bins. This one says it collects for a “for profit” organization. I think they mean “business”. But by saying “organization”, it’s one more way to fool people into thinking they’re donating to a charity.

I’d rather see people donate to Goodwill or some other 5013c. At least some of the profit goes to charity. Otherwise, these bins are just someone opening their pocket and saying ‘deposit the contents of your wallet here’ without any explanation.
