Donate it locally like on a 'buy nothing' groups? Or do you drop it off at Salvation Army? Or donate it to your local hospital? Or do you try to recoop some of the money by consigning it?

I will probably try to give to friends but everything else I generally donate to salvation army, it's so easy.

Depends! Sell some on here, local FB groups or eBay. Donate some to a local children and women's shelter for dv victims. Donate some to goodwill.

Just getting to the point of getting rid of anything, but I'm starting with the consignment store, then will likely give what's left to my local buy nothing group.

I will most likely hand everything down to my little sister. Anything she doesn't want she can donate. I've received lots of hand me downs so I'm ok with not recouping any of the cost.

Some of everything! I've gotten a ton from buy nothing, and my mops group trades stuff too. And one of my client is a non profit with a baby/kids store for homeless families. I don't give a lot away yet, since we're keeping in case we have another.

Gear, friends or one of our NICU's. Clothes either sell, give to friends/family or donate to purple heart.

I either list free stuff on the local FB baby group or we have a red cross drop off box just outside of our apartment, so I will drop things in there from time to time.

I donate to Goodwill because it's easy for me to drop off. I give to friends when possible.

A local woman's shelter and a place called Johnathan's house. They always have babies/tots that have been removed from the home for different reasons so they're usually in need.

I would aim for a local women's shelter for baby stuff. I want to know its going to someone in need and not resold for a profit.

Also, whenever I consign, I usually mark everything to "Donate" at the end of the sale everything gets sent to local charities like a women's shelter. I figure if I sell 70-80% of my stuff, its not worth going back to pick up the rest and its just easier to donate.

I'm saving baby clothes for friends. Personally, selling them on FB seems ridiculous when it's heavily used Carter's clothing. Our A&A blankets, I'm donating to a women's shelter that accepts gently used items. I've saved one A&A blanket for each kiddo's memory box and am donating the rest.

I schedule Salvation Army pickups, or I donate to family/friends.

It usually depends on the piece. There are some things I have bought with the intention to re-sell...so I have gone that route.
Other - more common things - I have donated to a local womens shelter. They pissed me off the last time I donated so I will be donating to the local foster closet next time!
