Do you recycle your old clothes?

If they are beyond ick they get tossed. If they are just stained I cut them into rags or donate it to a company that makes rags if they are deemed unusable for resale.

I have a few meager sewing skills. i have turned jeans into a jean skirt once the ends of the jeans are in tatters, but the rest of the pants were in good shape. I have turned old shirts in grocery bags. Most of the time, I donate to the local thrift store. That way they are not sitting in a landfill taking up space. If they are my husbands old workout clothes, I turn them into dusting rags.

i use them as rags, too. if they cannot be donned by anyone, they have to be used as rags.

Hello! I am a very frugal person, I don't want to spend on none sense things and I really do love to conserve and recycle even if i have money to buy for something new. What I put into my mind is that, from this, i am not only helping myself save some money for what I recycled but most importantly, I helped my environment who needed to be saved from being destructed by the many man-made wastes we've seen around. Our little shares in recycling things means so much, i believe in that. Most of the times, I donated my clothes and the rest of my family with some one whom I knew would help them, I really don't donate stuffs who are fully worned out. I see to it, that they could still use them. There's just some pieces of clothes that became my favorite that I really couldn't give it to someone, and instead, I just used them till they can't serve me any longer. What I do was to put them in a clean cabinet in our kitchen so it may wipe our dishes, if my daughter have a project in school that concerns old clothes that's needed to be cut, then I will have an instant answer to her needs. Recycling is better than throwing something instantly. Just have a proper place for this things so you could have them instantly when you need them. Have a nice Sunday night!

Hi. I am not creative person and stylish. Some of my clothes that I've haven't wear , i give it to my relatives, some to the niece. Sometimes if i like the dress of my sister or my niece i asked them if they want to harbor. If the dress doesn't fit to me anymore i will give it.

I donate cloth that not too old, sometimes my mum give them to people who live in countryside. I take them to clean my floor too

Hi, I am not a creative person and don't knwo how to sew, so some of my old clothes,having torn here and there a bit will become my house wiper clothes. I use them to wipe dry my leg,or just to wipe anything that wet the floor. It can be a mopper too. If the old clothes are still in fine condition,then I will donate to some people who may need it. I do have some friends who are super creative and they make use of those old clothes and re-cut the shape and add some ornaments on it and it becomes another piece of new clothes,it looks great. Too bad, I don't have that talented skill.

Just like you, Metatronik, I convert clothes to rags is they are no longer usable to wear. For the ones that are still usable but not longer fits nicely, that's the time that I donate it to church or give it away to garbage collectors.

If they look like rags already, then I guess they can serve as rags. Sometimes it depends on what kind of material they are, absorbent material would be more useful as rags. If not, I would just put them in a recycling bag.

We do also recycle it by making as rug but I do also seen some people make this as fillings for their pillow by cutting it first to small pieces. I don't know tho about the convenience it brings while they sleep.

I made good bags from my old pants! There are tutotials all over the web. Try. :)
