Proposal
For a place that takes goods as donations maybe for a charity project or for use or selling. The donated goods will be reused and must be in good condition. Because it is a donation, you will not get the material value of the goods in return.

Rationale
At the moment some mappers use recycling:*=yes to document that a place takes goods as donations. But with recycling:*=yes it is unclear if it is really a donation or just a disposal.
donation_of_goods=* makes it clear that the goods are reused (possibly sold) and must be in good condition.
Examples
Projects that takes goods as donations:
Tagging
donation_of_goods=*

| donation_of_goods:website=* | Optional. A link to a webpage about donation at this place. |
| donation_of_goods:description=* | Optional. A text about donation at this place. |
donation_of_goods=yes - If it collects goods as a donation that belong to the same category of goods that the shop sells.
A Semi-colon_value_separator can be used to specify what kind of goods are collected, eg.:
donation_of_goods=eyeglassesdonation_of_goods=laptops;mobile_phones
