"What Do u usually do to your Old Clothes Did u give it to the Poor/Throw it "

my clothes are usually so ratty that they arent woth giving away. now if my workboots are still in good shape i will give them away. i was in new york city one time and saw a homeless guy with no shoes on and i knew i had another pair in my hotel room and i gave him my shoes and walked back to the hotel barefoot lol

Well some I can give it away for my friends, or people who I don't know in the street who only have few pieces of clothes with them. Don't you feel goo when you do something good by help this unfortunate people? It makes me feel good when I see them happy having it their smile glows and really feels good deep inside me. Have a nice day!

Ones that are expensive and in excellent condition I either take to a consignment shop to sell or sell on ebay or at yard sales. Some stuff I give away to people I know. The other good stuff I give to charity and the not so good stuff I cut up into rags, if I can. If they are not even good for that, we burn trash once per week and they can go there but now I heard that if you donate clothes that are not in the best shape, they recycle them so I am going to start donating everything that I do not wear any longer.

no i will never throw my old clothes and i will always keep it aside and give to the poor and needy. there are so many people who are in a need and can to afford to have good and new clothes as they are poor enough and if we help them out giving the clothes which we dont use it, a little food and a little money and help them in anyways i think they would bless you and the blessings are more important for the person for his/her better living and hence i believe this and always distribute to the poor or needy people. if the person is not able to or wish to help the poor from money atleast by distributing his/her old clothes will do and he also gains blessings and it is considered as a good deed. it is one way of adding up to your good deeds.

Hi Iyah10, I do keep my old clothes in the cabinet and wait for Christmas time for Christmas package, gift package for the streetchildren parents and when the needy ask for it.

i would kept all my old clothes but sometimes i'll gave it to those poor people...

Hello,Iyah! Some times beggars ask for old clothes and we give them what ever they want and some times we use the old stuff for cleaning tables,tv.computer and bikes.thanx.

I usually give my old clothes to my relatives or some people that we know that I think they can use it. Almost every year we always give our old clothes that we didn't wear it anymore, instead of stacking it in the closet. I think it was much more practical to give it to people that may use and wear it.

Iyah, I would usually sort the old clothes out - those still good and presentable to be given away to the charity homes, and the rest to use as floor or washing rags.

i don't usually give them away. caues i don't think that my old clothes are good enough to give away to the poor people. i think that only old clothes that still wearable and still look decent enough for any people to wear in public should be given away. those old clothes that look like a rag any more should be just thrown or just be recycled as a rag. i have lots of old clothes and i don't know where to give them away. sometimes there are some poor people who will come up into my front door to ask for my oold clothes but the problem i had not organized or prepared the clothes i should give and it is not easy to look for clothes inside my humongous pile of clothes that i should choose from.

funny that you started this discussion.i just recently had a garage sale in my house.you see,i gained weight and my clothes don't fit anymore.lolz! i guess i need to exercise,don't you think? anyway,i decided to sell them.at least,i get to earn from those clothes.and thankfully,many from our neighbors bought.and mind you,almost all of it are already sold in 2 days time.i'm so glad i did it because i can use the money to buy new ones that will fit to my size.happy mylotting!

i give it to poor people I have no use of it and I know those people can still find use on it, sometimes though if an old clothe is too damaged I just re used it as for floors

Hi I give away old cloths to poor fellows by myself. I don't drop those in temples or somewhere else. But some of the cloths i throw away in to garbage if I think it not suitable to wear by any one. I generally give away cloths which other human being can wear. Poor fellows are also human being like me. So i don't offer them something which i wouldn't use.

I am afraid this is the thing which shame myself~ i always discard the old clothes when i buy new one ~but trust me ,i always have the idea to donate them to the poor~ but i didn't take real action~

i totally give mine away...there are soooo many people in this world that can not afford new or even used clothes...I hate it when I see perfectly good clothing go to waste. The only time I throw clothes out is when they can not be reused.

We hand clothes down when outgrown for kids to younger kids in family (cousins or friends etc). Or we donate to church, mission, good will. I even offer those that are so worn they can no longer be worn to groups and schools for scraps if needed. Much rather give to someone who needs them!

We have recently had a sort out,so we ended up with many clothes that we had either never worn or would not fit us any more lol,so we decided to take them over to the local Salvation army clothes bank,it is only across the road from us,and it is very well used,there are always people there recycling old clothes curtains etc.There is also a bottle bank there,a plastic and paper bank too.Shoes are saved by the army,they give them to others who need footwear.We have so much that we can say we need to offload some of it,but there are so many in the world who have so little or nothing that they are only too glad of what is saved in the recycling centres.It seems that we do not have the balance right,on the one hand there are many with more than everything,and on the other hand there are those who have little or nothing.is it not time that there was some kind of redress,a balance struck.

There are a few things I do with my old clothes. It all depends on the condition of the clothes really. 1) Use as rags. I will do this if the condition is really bad. My hubby uses some of my daughters old clothes to polish his guitar. He likes certain fabrics for that purpose. 2) Give away. I give clothes that are still in good condition to my relatives and those who need it. I pack them in a bag and give them away. 3) Use it on my next holiday. My hubby and I have been doing this with our underwear. We both hate to use disposable ones when on vacation. So we keep our old, probably torn and tattered (nevertheless comfortable) underwear for our next vacation. When we are there we can just use and throw it away. I'm thinking of doing it for clothes too. There was once when we threw away some old clothes at the hotel, the cleaner picked them up and asked whether we accidentally threw them away. We said no. Yikes! Anyway, I never thrown clothes in the garbage.

If the clothes don't look too bad I give them to a family I know or I give them to the Salvation Army.

I donate unwanted clothing to the thrift stores or homeless shelters. Sometimes I donate them to the churches. They keep used clothing onhand to donate to needy families.
