The reason is valid, it's just how much of a cut the 3rd party gets. Similar to situations when charities use 3rd parties to sell donation tickets.
One thing we can do to help is to drop off our smaller stuff at Salvation Army, instead of asking them to collect.

hi Khoon.
Here is my friend's reply...
My take is that due to difficulty in getting employees to do manual work, carrying and sorting. Also the rise in cost of maintaining and owning transport (trucks)
It may be more practical to outsource the collection and sorting to 3rd party.
"Cut from it" maybe charges for service rendered.

Hi
Can someone tell me if this is true.
I was told salvation army now outsources its donated items collection n sorting and thrift shop to 3rd party, they get a cut from it, started the last few years.
My intended donations to salvation army was for their use and profit, not 3rd party
