what do you do with unused clothes?

I have no unused clothes. I have less and the ones I fit in I wear day after day, clean them and wear them again. I have some others I do not fit anymore (still hoping I will one day) I keep them for that day.. they are in between 5 and 10 years old. Some I did gave to my daughters, at a certain point (years) it comes back and I wear them again or one of the others will. people do give me clothes they do not wear. I see who can use what and give it away (in my own country or abroad).

for a time when i lived in the state i had a table where i would put clothes out for free at its start we told the local free meal places about it it was not long before clothes would just be gone in a matter of hours

I use to give my unwanted clothes and other things to charity when I was living in New York and New Mexico. Two different charities would come to the door to pick up my stuff that I no longer wanted or needed. Now that I live in Puerto Rico I can't find a place to donate my extra clothes too. So I give them to my neice if they fit she keeps them if not I hold on to them till I can find a place to give them away too.

good day pomwango, with reference to your post, normally we bring our used clothes to charity institution to help and give a smile to those kids who do not have new clothes to wear. wherein, the used clothes we bringing there was not totally used. but those clothes which are totally used, we try to exchanged it with small wares and plastics.

We have bins here in parking lots sometimes that we can stuff the bags of old clothes into, and that is where I usually take mine. We gets calls now and then from various charities but I'm more comfortable just dropping them off in the bins when I have a full bag.

Well I give mine to a maid... She works at our house and she is really really poor so I think that because she works for me she is the one who deserves the most.

I don't have much clothes,But most of my cloths are old.I just wash an wear,till they are all torn up.I have to get some clothes,pretty soon.But my kids clothes,every time i give them to someone is really in need of kids clothes. Especially my daughters I gave alot of baby stuff away,because is growing really fast. Where I live they don't trade clothes,they give them to others are charity.

as for our old and unused clothes we usually pack them up and give them to relatives or sometimes donate it to charities, that's what we usually do.

We have donated our unused clothes to a community that's 4-hour drive away from our home. That community was struck by a devastating calamity and lost their homes, loved ones and their livelihood. It was the least thing we can do to help them.

Always I give my unused clothes to my realitives, or give them to disaser area. Every year my work unit organizes such activity.

I donate mine to a church here, for the homeless. I get alot of cloths from the usa.. that we cant use. I hate to see them go to waist. So I donate them all....

I usually do with my unused clothes I do give it to my relatives most especially my cousin whose the same body as mine. Sometimes, if we do not have a rag, I also use it. My outgrown clothes usually I am giving it to my little nieces. I did not yet experience to trade my clothes.

i think your opinion was right, i also do the same here...,

I give those dresses that I do not want them more to my maid. she has a big family and I think when I know a person already is there and need those cloth then I give them.

We give away old clothes to charity, to fire victims and also to relatives. Our clothes are usually rundowns from my sister's kids which are still in very goo shape and quality. It feels like to give some to those who are needy. I will have to take out of the clothes so that i can start sorting them.

i donate them to where ever i can. i have given clothes that my two daughters have outgrown to friends and family alike and hubby's clothes and my clothes get donated to Bibles for Missions (where they raise money for Bibles to give out in other countries) or for organizations that support diabetes and other charities like that.

I enjoy articles about recycling anything, especially clothes that one just tires of but seem never to wear out. We have Charity Shops in the UK and they are very popular and also make money for good causes. There are great bargains to pick up and all the clothes are washed and ironed before putting out for sale. It seems criminal to throw away a perfectly good dress or skirt because they no longer fit or are out of fashion. People who are small sizes seem to get the best bargains I have noticed. These shops are also great for getting household items which have come to the shop as a result of a relative clearing the house of a deceased person. I have bought some lovely vases from these shops. It must be especially rewarding to pass your children's outgrown clothes to needy children in home who do not have parents to provide for them.

We are always giving it to another poor family who needs it more. It's a very good feeling afterwards to give them something that helps them so much. Somehow they're money are for foods only and not for clothes and I know the feeling when you want to look at least clean for other people not to look at you with so much pity. So I'm glad to help these people in this way.

I give my unused jackets to my younger brother coz he love wearing them. Rest of my unused clothes go to poor people . It's always good to do some charity.

I also give them to those who exchange them for utensils.
