There's one on Parkhurst next to Taylor Rental. Goodwill has a trailer at Stop and Shop

do be aware that most clothing that gets put into the bins ends up being used for rags - not cleaned and used or cleaned and resold. (I think it was Channel 7 that did a story on that about a year ago) Turning it in to Goodwill or the Wish project is a better use... or wait until Big Brother/Big Sister or the Epilepsy Foundation calls for a come around.
