Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year, full of spooky fun, creative costumes, and over-the-top decorations. But once the jack-o’-lanterns start to rot and the candy wrappers pile up, what’s left behind is often clutter: costumes your kids have outgrown, broken decorations, and plastic pumpkins you don’t plan to use next year.
Instead of tossing everything in the trash, this is the perfect moment to give your Halloween gear a second life through donation.
Why Halloween Is a Great Time to Donate
Most Halloween costumes are only worn once, maybe twice if you’re lucky. Kids outgrow them quickly, and adults tend to reinvent their look year to year. That means closets and storage bins can quickly fill up with unused capes, wigs, masks, and accessories.
Donating these items right after the holiday helps you clear space and puts those goods to better use. And it’s not just costumes. Halloween decor builds up fast. Whether it’s light-up skeletons, spiderwebs, or plastic pumpkins, seasonal items often get replaced year after year. If you’re not planning to use them again, someone else might love them.
How Your Halloween Donation Helps
Donating after Halloween helps in more ways than one:
- It extends the life of items that would otherwise end up in the landfill.
- It gives families a chance to shop for affordable, secondhand costumes next year.
- It supports the missions of local charities which resell donated goods to fund their programs or provide free goods to those in need.
At ReSupply, we work with a network of thousands of nonprofit organizations across the country. When you schedule a donation pickup with us, your donation goes directly to a charity that can put it to good use—whether that’s through resale, reuse, or redistribution.
