Drive Saturday, December 13"It follows:
“Re-use and recycling are great, but I have serious concerns about the used clothing collection company 'USAgain', mentioned in the announcement.
“Around the country, USAgain and other outsider groups are reportedly causing donations of wearable clothing to dwindle at local charities. That would mean charitable groups in many communities have less funding to help the needy. Please think about this next time you have clothes to give away.
“USAgain is controversial for even more disturbing reasons. Reports going back a decade suggest that the for-profit company, to quote a Seattle TV news investigation, “... routinely pretended to be a charity so business owners wouldn't ask for rent on the bin space.”
“Worse, Danish prosecutors link USAgain to an alleged cult called the Tvind Teachers Group. Five leaders of this group are Interpol fugitives wanted in their native Denmark in connection with a multimillion-dollar tax-fraud and embezzlement scheme.
“To clarify, it’s likely that the only Tvind Teachers Group members at USAgain are its officers, none of whom are wanted by Interpol. And the company’s laborers and local managers are probably just regular folks trying to hold down a job. But the following report quotes a former USAgain branch manager who says she had been pressured to join the Teachers Group, reportedly an elite group within the broader Tvind organization.
“Google search these two reports:
“Millions In Clothing Donations Diverted From Charity kirotv
“Local Mayor Wants Red Bins Out Usagain in Seattle YouTube
