Bags dumped outside shop
A PILE of bags filled with donations have been dumped outside a charity shop in Ammanford even though the shop is closed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The donations outside of the Barnardo’s shop in Ammanford, have stacked up so much that they have blocked the entrance.
The charity shop is currently closed due to Covid19 regulations and therefore not able to accept bags of donated goods.
Charity shops across Wales have been closed since the Welsh Government announced all nonessential retail was to close from December 20.
Residents have said they have been left disgusted and angered by the sight of the donations dumped outside the charity shop and have urged people to keep their donations until after lockdown.
One local said: “Obviously people have gone there, seen that it’s closed and just dumped them there anyway. I worry that they’ll end up in the bin.”
Signs in the Ammanford shop window ask donators not to leave any donations outside, as this is effectively classed as flytipping but many have ignored these warnings.
People are being encouraged to keep hold of items they wish to donate to charity shops, clothing banks or recycling centres until they open again.
