My immediate reaction is that this sounds like a very similar
concept to 'give box', which was the subject of a recent RFC. Do
we need two ways of tagging such similar things?<br>
</blockquote>
<p>The defining feature of the give box is that the public can
freely access it for both giving and taking. With this feature
(in-kind donation) the public can give goods but wouldn't expect
to freely take things that others have given.<br>
</p>
<p>It's similar to recycling but implies that the goods are reused
rather than used as raw materials. Personally I feel this is a bit
of a continuum and I don't see a problem with tagging in-kind
donation sites as a type of recycling.<br>

it's a quirk of the English language that a phrase that normally
consists of separate words is generally hyphenated when it is used
'attributively', i.e. as a quasi-adjective before a noun. So I
might write, 'He made a donation in kind' but 'He made an in-kind
donation'. <br>

</blockquote>
<p>A well-put description! The phrase is hyphenated when it
functions as an adjective. See
