Single (or Not) on Valentine's Day? Here's an idea for you…

Valentine’s Day could be the most controversial holidays – People either love celebrating who they love or deem the holiday a marketing scam.

Regardless of which side you’re on, here’s a phenom idea for those recently-single or coping with an ex-lover (courtesy of Colonial Park Goodwill in central PA): Dump your ex’s (stuff) & donate it!

Have old champagne glasses, mugs, vases, or other mushy ‘crap’ you can no longer bear to look at? Drop them off at Philly area’s various Goodwill locales:

Retrospect Store, 534-536 South Street, Philadelphia, PA
2601 S Front St Store, Philly
2200 W. Passyunk Ave. Store, Philly
7030 Colonial Highway, Retail Op. Center, Pennsauken, NJ
5461 Route 70 Store, Pennsauken, NJ

Hold on to your ex’s weapons, large appliances, computers & large exercise equipment – You can’t donate them according to the Goodwill article detailing the v-day hand-off.
