When I picked up the kids toys, they went into a garbage bag and put in the garage. When the kids didn’t miss them or whine about them – they went to the church to be given out.
My mom told us the “Kangaroo took them”. That meant we had to pay the kangaroo out of our allowance to get the item back. The more it was needed the more expensive the cost.
The same can be said for men who constantly lose their keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. When I was married, I’d find his wallet in the washing machine (with everything inside soaking wet), under the car seat, out in the driveway after he’d shovel snow (again, soaking wet), stuck in the sofa, etc. I’d never say anything, but then watch him scramble around the house looking for it when he was late for work. Perhaps kids who don’t keep track of their belongings grow into adults who do the same.

I’m sure some under priviledge child could use them.

My wife brings the dogs’ food dishes down from her office* and PUTS THEM IN THE SINK! *Two of our dogs won’t eat until she’s up and in her WFH office.

I used to hide my wife’s magazines by putting them in the magazine rack, in alphabetical order.

It is either putting them in the toy box or in the trash, your pick.
