Do you sell them? Donate them? (If so where do you donate them to?) How often do you donate clothes?
I cycle through tons of clothes it seems,maybe because I find them second hand for good deals at thrift stores. I used to consign them when I bought brand names, but since, I have donated them to homeless shelters around my city.
Some of these "non profits" that collect clthes are not so non profit....
How about you?

I forward my daughter's clothes to the needy people who have kids of her age and dont have much to wear.
And our clothes - mine and my husband, we give them to our Helps. They love it.

I donate them at the end of the year because I clean my closet before the new year starts.
Fo clothes that are still wearable, I donate them or give them to relatives or siblings.
For those that are not, I turn them into rugs and use them in cleaning the house rather than buy rugs at the store.

Awesome, that is very green of you to reuse them in that fashion. I will sometimes give old tshirts to my dad who will bring them to work at his mechanic shop and use them as oil rags. Do you find that you have a million bags to donate by the end of the year?!

@maezee No, I only have few pieces because I don't buy that much clothes.
my father is the one in the family who likes giving out his clothes.

Mike works for the homeless and this is where all the clothes go.

I mainly donate them unless they are in such bad shape that they aren't worth donating.

I give them to family members first and then if they don't want them I give the rest to the salvation army.

We send ours to the province where they are appreciated the most especially people who live in the mountainous areas, we give it to a politician relative who takes care of handing it out

Sometimes I give them away, sometimes I give them to charity, if they look good, I will sell them to thrift stores. I also use some of them as pillow cases. The one that looks ugly, like t-shirts with holes ends up as wiping rags.

There's a bin for some outfit that I have placed old clothes in. I haven't done so in years as I have none to donate.

I do donate most of my winter clothes,we have non-profit organizations come every 3-4 months,we also have containers in most corners where you can donate.
My summer clothes which l no longer need or want,l do take with me when l vacation in Africa,people there have very little so they really appreciate it.
