Do we (Canadians) have something simular? ie if we were to donate children's toys, clothing there is a preset amount for each item that totals up and you use that dollar amount to submit for income tax credit.
The US has a way of calculating charitable tax donations of used clothing, appliances etc to ie Diabetes assocmicrosoft frontpage
If you donate them to Goodwill, or Salvation army you can ask for a tax receipt.

Dunno. You'll have to ask that in the Canada section. This is the US section.
No. Canadian and US tax laws are different because our nations have different values.
If you are not using an item and want to get rid of it, you simply give it to someone who needs it. This is not a big deal for the person giving the item a way, but a big deal for the person receiving it. Not putting unwanted items into landfills makes people feel good about themselves. Why should anyone get a tax write-off for this?
As Canadians, we have a duty to help each other in any way we can. Giving items we don't want or need is one way that people with little or no money can help their fellow Canadians. A tax write-off for a Canadian acting like a Canadian? It's an absurd notion.
