What do you do with your old clothes?

My old clothes? I usually donate them to charities or give them off to people that might have use of them. Like those cousins I have that need them.

I sell them to eBay.The ones that don't sell I aceessorize to make them useful again. Like old-fashioned polo-shirts, I wear them now with belts to make them more trendy & fashionable. Some damaged ones I cut out into small squares & use them as toilet cloth so that I won't buy toilet paper anymore, they're biodegradable anyway. Others I use as rags.The soft ones made of cotton, i used to put in my kids' back to absorb sweat.

It is a little hard to let go of the sentiments. But I usually give away my old clothes which are in good condition to my household help or their children. If the clothes are torn a bit, I ask them to get it mended ...or else I use it as dusters and then throw them away.

We are not like you, and all our old clothes are well worn. We usually keep our clothes for a couple of years, and then discard it.Usually we give the old clothes to our servants or to the garbage people.Other times, we usually barter it for a few plastic utensils, like a mug, bucket or a basin. Of course now days those kind of people who barter plastic goods for old clothes are disappearing, and maybe after a couple of years, we do not know what to do with the old clothes.

Sometimes I have a garage sale and sell our used clothes and other times we donate them to area associations that either give the clothes away or sell them to make money to help the needy. We also give clothes away to people we know that can use them. It use to be hard to give things away, but has become easier over the years. Anything you haven't worn in 6 months to a year, you really don't need.

I let go of a lot of my old clothes a couple of weeks ago. I had been holding onto them just in case I gained weight again but they have sat un-worn for the last few years, so they had to go. I know now that I will maintain my current weight and size for probably forever, so when the recent floods happened here, I gave them all to charity as I knew there would be thousands of clothes needed by people who lost everything. I usually do this with clothes that are still good. Any clothes that get worn out, I use for rags around the house. I sometimes even give them to charity as well as they sell bags of rags to earn extra money as well.

it. Once the clothes are old, I dont have any sentiments towards it.Generally when I get a bunch of new clothes, try to put old clothes to wear at home. I give it to charity whenever there is need for it. Give it to some poor people who cannot afford for

I usually start giving the clothes, shoes and accessories away to friends or family members that can use them. Most times they get passed down thru the family. I also will take what I have left over and have a yardsale in the late spring and we use that money towards our summer family vacation. The left overs from the yardsale are donated to the GoodWill

I try to give away my clothes away to the poor near where I stay. And also to the watchmans family and the sweeper of my building. The western outfits are given once a year to an orphanage. The older girls there are taught how to alter these clothes to their size. Sometimes they change the whole pattern to their liking which I like. I also give them my old curtains and bedsheets out of which they make doormats and quilts.

Hi mimpi! Unless I know someone who will wear the clothes I no longer need I usually donate them. I no longer spend a lot of money on clothes because I’ve found a lot of my nicest things in op shops where clothing costs very little. The other day I found a beautiful dress which I will wear to a special dinner I have to go to. It is a designer label (so I’m told LOL) and it looks absolutely stunning. I found it in an op shop and it had no price tag on it so I asked at the counter how much they would sell it for. The man looked at it and, being a man had no idea of the quality of the garment so he said I could have it for $7.99! I almost grabbed it, paid for it and ran out of the store!

With my own clothes, I tend to be very minimalistic in what I will buy for myself. This means that when it comes to my own clothes, I will wear them until there is no wear at all left in them. However, I do have the two small children that tend to grow out of their clothes before they have the opportunity to grow out of them and with those clothes, I've taken to donating them to charity because I know that there are a lot of people that aren't nearly as lucky as our family and can put those items to good use.

hmmm, naturally i want to look posch so i will try new brands every time, and i dont think wearing them,but i think about giving that to our workers in home,they take it with pleasure so i will be happy in giving to them..... happy mylotting..

I keep a lot of stuff incase I need them again. But once a year, or whenever I'm moving, I donate a lot to Goodwill. Sometimes I use old clothing as scrap fabric or projects, or I cut them up into rags for dusting. I also keep ruined clothes to wear when I'm painting or doing anything that ruins clothes.

I sometimes have trouble letting go of old clothes even if I don't wear them anymore or they don't fit. But periodically I do go through my closet and pull a bunch out. I usually donate it to a local goodwill or thrift store. If I know someone who can use it I give it to them, but if I don't then at least through a goodwill or something maybe someone will get some use out of it :)

Hi, first, i think i don't have so many clothes as you. Because i have never bought a clothes, then give it away after wear it only twice. But as time goes on, i do get lots of old clothes. I try to find use for them. If i can, i will give them to poorer regions. For my kids' old clothes, if they are in good condition, i will give them to smaller kids of relatives.

I don't like to throw old clothes away. that seems like such a waste to me. I try to find a friend or family member who can use the clothing I no longer want or need. If I can't find someone, I am happy to donate the clothes to the needy. Someone should get the use out of something that I can't.

Hi dear, We used to give the old and useful dress to some poor people. Some years before one lady used to come and collect all these used dresses and saying that they are giving it to the orphanages or other voluntary organizations. Once I noticed that the same lady sells the collected dresses with second rates on some streets. I warned the lady and threatened that I will complained to the police. But there ware few man around her and asked me to 'stop talking and go away from there'. I found the danger there and moved away. But later on the lady never come to collect the dresses. This lady were used to collect the dresses with 3-4 alternate months. All are taking advantage of the chances. But the office where I am working used to collect the used dresses to provide for the poor. And this year we had a collection of 4 tons of dress, unexpired medicine, food grains and other things also from 7 different branch offices from India. I think we have done a good job and the company has done a good job and also we do sponsors to many schools and scholarships to selected students. Thank-s
