Alright, so hi guys.
I've got one, two, three, three and a half ish.
Plus another bag that's already ready to go in the bin.
I've closed that.
I've come in via donations.
A volunteer picked them up after I told them not to pick them up that people need to book in a delivery and then there's another set of things that's been left in the shop.
This is why I charge for delivery, for collections okay because a volunteer has gone out after I told them not to pick up off the individual and they've picked up and I've been here now for the last wasting my time sorting these donations out okay.
This is why we charge to pick up your donations and this is why I specifically told two members at two volunteers not to pick up off of this particular person and they went and did it.
So they've wasted their time picking it up.
Now we got to dispose of their rubbish.
Okay, if you want us to pick up from you then you need to pay the delivery charge because if you're gonna give us stuff like this then I've got to pay to have it disposed of.
I mean why would you donate stuff like this?
I wouldn't give that to anybody in need.
If somebody's house burnt down overnight I wouldn't give that one.
If somebody was on the street I wouldn't give that one.
There's no way I would give anybody that.
All you've done is convince the volunteers to pick up your donations for us to get rid of your rubbish.
Okay, so we will not be accepting any donations off this particular person anymore.
Even if you bring them in the store I'm going to refuse them.
Now at the moment we don't go through donations at the door like the other charity shops but if if we get another batch like this I'm gonna have to.
But I know for a fact that this was picked up after I told them not to pick up off this particular individual.
And this is why we charge.
Okay, so these have come in.
They're too vintage.
Alright, it's not gonna pass fire eggs.
I can't put that on a baby's bed.
And these were donated in the store.
They're no good.
Alright, and this has come in via a donation as well.
Okay, we're not gonna take it.
What we're gonna have to do I think is start going through people's donations at the door.
Because I also had another bag last week that was covered in dog haze.
If it's covered in dog haze we don't want it.
This is why I don't keep the donations at my house anymore.
Because I'm a pet lover.
And I love my pets.
And they're all over my house.
So I don't keep the donations at my house anymore.
Because it can give a child an asthma attack.
But there's there's no way that we would give this out for free.
Or you know, we've got to pay now to have this disposed of.
So please, we do not want anything in this condition at all.
And neither does any other baby bank or any other charity shop.
If you've got anything in this condition, you need to take it down the tip.
The other issue I've got is these were left in Pontypool shop.
There's two coats.
I know where they are.
There's a bag of stuff.
I know the couple very well.
Now if you're going to...
I appreciate your custom, the both of you, because you do buy off us.
But if you're going to continue to leave your rubbish in our shop while you're in there.
Because this is not the first time I've had to deal with bags.
I mean that this stuff is just like... I mean I can't even touch this.
Because it's whatever's coming off it is affecting me as soon as I open the bag.
Like some sort of spore or something on it.
Okay, this is the other jacket.
Right, it is stinking.
Now, it isn't coming in a donation.
What you've done is you've just left it in our shop soaking wet.
It's not the first time it's happened over Pontypool.
So I'm going to warn you now, if you do this again, then I'll stop it from coming into the shops.
We do not want your bags of stuff left in our shop.
Full stop with that one.
It is soaking wet.
It's going to cause other stuff to go mouldy.
I don't want you to leave a single bag of your rubbish in our shop again, please.
Otherwise I will stop you from coming in.
So yeah, if you've got anything like this guys, don't donate it to any baby bank, any charity shop.
Because it's just no good to anybody.
And we're not even going to put that in the free trolley.
We're going to have to pay now to dispose of this.
So we're probably looking at about 30, 40 quid out of our nappy money.
So we'll be short on nappies now because there's another bag as well.
And there's also a ride on thing that's stinking dirty.
So we're not, you know, that's taking 40 pounds worth of nappy money now.
That has all 40 pounds worth of food bank money.
It would have been nappy money because that's where we're taking it from this week.
So unfortunately, we're going to have a smaller nappy shopping risk this week because we've got to pay to dispose of that today.
So please do not donate anything in that condition again.
Thanks, everyone.
