Am I "good" for dumping clothes at Goodwill or Salvation Army? Or am I stupid for not trying to get something back for them?
I'm not talking about old trashed out clothes. I'm talking about decent things that are only a year or so old.

You should give them. Unless you do other kinds of charity, it's the least you can do. I remember when my family was poor and I had to shop at goodwill, the clothes were pretty shitty, so giving nice clothes would be great. Even better would be to sell the clothes and use that money in a charitable way. Donate presents to some kids who need it, or help feed people in Africa, or any of the billions of other things you could do. Any little bit helps.
