I have been donating items there for years. It is quite convenient. I do not agree with its removal, but maybe better maintaince so that items are not piled up outside of it.

Sorry but I run in that area several times a week and I have NEVER seen it kept up. There is always stuff around it. If the organization can't keep it clean it needs to go. If those who chose to donate want it kept then they should take responsibility with keeping the area clean. There are too many places to donate too that won't create the mess the box has become.

There is a wonderful good will truck parked at the coquina key mall. That is a legitimate charity and the donations do not go over seas. This truck helps local folks. remove all that look like crap.all the ones that look like crap are fakes......

It seems like it became a problem only recently, and I have no idea why. ; The two mattresses leaning against the box were particularly awful.

This collection box is on 31st Street South on the northwest corner of what would be 47th Avenue South if it went through from east to west. It does not go through - there is a foot path there leading under the highway to 34th Street.

This has been there at least 2 weeks. Why is that not considered dumping?

If this is one of those so-called donation boxes where the owner actually sends the good stuff overseas for sale and/or puts it up for sale in his own resale shop, then it really has to go! And is this city on a right of way? Whose property is this on?

What's the status on this? Here's another picture taken this AM of more junk to show how it looks. It should be removed.

We have written to the city to ask if it's proper to have this commercial collection box in a residential neighborhood and whether it is properly placed on land it has a right to. The last 2 like this placed ear Lakewood turned out to be for profit - the owner was selling the contents overseas, so there was no 'charity' at all. We are requesting removal of the box.

Thankfully the box has been removed!!! Now it's time to keep the trail clear. This issue can be closed.

Many thanks to the people who raised this issue with the city and got that corner cleaned up. Our city council member is looking into finding ways to make sure that these boxes, once properly placed, really are for 'donations,' because this one in particular was anything but charitable and that's just deceit.
