Recycle your clothes
Giving away or reselling your gently worn clothing reduces waste, plain and simple. This month, challenge yourself to go through your closet and collect anything you don’t wear. Then, plan ways of recycling your clothes. You could host a clothes swap, give them to charity, or trade them for dollars at your local vintage or consignment boutique.
I’ve got some of my twelve year old son’s outgrown clothes in my car right now and I’m planning on taking them to a used clothing shop to sell.
I just went through my close and my stepdaughters closet. I will be giving them to the salvation army store. I usually do this once or twice a year.
I regularly go through the closets at home to find clothes that my family no longer wears and take them to a local homeless shelter. I also collect clothes from my relatives and friends to share at this same shelter. There are so many people homeless in our area that need help.
I am going to go through my clothes to find things that I haven’t worn in a long time, and donate them into the AmVets (as I usually do).
Im going to go through my closet as well as my daughter’s and give away what dosnt fit us anymore. She also has a lot of toys, new and a little older that she dosnt use so we’ll give those away too.
I already have several bags filled with clean, nicely folded clothes I’ve been keeping for a garage sale. No garage sale on the horizon so it’s simply time to pass them on to others. Thanks for the push.
Yep! about once a year, typically at Christmas time I will go through my drawers and dump any unused clothing to take to the Salvation Army… Coincidentally, that time is now! :)
I love it.
I just went through the family’s closets. Going to have a garage sale in a couple weeks. Planning to donate what is left.
We do this every few months and donate to Vietnam Vets of America or the Epilepsy Foundation. They come and pick the items up, and will also take things like housewares, small furniture, etc. Couldn’t be easier.
In Janaury I donated seven bags full to goodwill. Then last weekend a couple of friends and I had a garage sale and I found more clothes to sell. They were the biggest sellers and someone else can enjoy them. We have some leftovers and they will be donated so goodwill call sell them to fund job placement prgrams. To think this junk was doing nothing for me in my closet.
I have a box for Good will of outdated clothing that no longer fits. And another box of “classics” to store that will fit later this summer cleaned out of the closet
I have lost some a weight so I have giving away most of my clothes to the Goodwill and the DAV.
Actually, I’m embarrassed to tell you that I just donated 19 pairs of dress shoes. I just loved them, but didn’t ware them, so I lined them up, took a photo and donated them to Dress for Success, now someone else can love my shoes even more!
I always donate my clothing and other items to the Goodwill. I have also passed hand-me-down clothing to family members that need clothing for their children. It gives you a good feeling to give to others that really can use the items that are just sitting in your home.
My husband was very proud that finally recently I have donated all of the baby clothing that I just could not let go of (my boy is now 5 and my girl is 7) so yes, it took awhile. :)
It made me feel good and gave us a lot more storage space. I only hung on to the special outfits such as baby’s firsts, baptismal, etc.
