What do you do with your old clothes

[amethyst]

Put them in a charity bag when they pop one through the door.I was in one of the out of town shopping area,went in H & M to find you can recycle your old clothing in the box provide for vouchers.So I thought what is this about anyway I had a read on their website to find they have been doing this scheme since 2013,in all of their stores.It says drop off a bag of clothes and receive £5 voucher to spend in store or online provided there is a minimum spend of £25.Good idea if you buy your clothes at H & M but not for me.I will be dropping off clothes to them and give my voucher to a younger person.I dont believe in a throw away society where clothes are sent to landfill.I believe M & S do something similar.

"Wear them."
I tend to wear clothes till they rip or wear away.

I normally put them in a charity bag once they start to get worn out.

I should say, this also applies to my car. Drive it till it drops.

Things don't go out of fashion as frequently as they used to - I am also one of those "wear until they tear" people as well.

Tesco has a box to put old clothes in and they recycle them

A real sore point, we have a convenience store at the end of our road and the council have granted permission to have a clothing donation bin outside it, the things a proper eyesore and when it's full people from all over the area are now leaving black binbags in front of it.

I have seen clothes banks next to bottle banks for people to put old clothes in.

One idea my Mum heard was to turn old shirts & pullovers into cushion covers, & is planning to do this with some of my late Dad's ones.

Hmm, somehow, I managed to find this old thread here. Well, like an average person's clothing which gets worn, I put them away. I like that thing where you can leave your old clothes for a voucher code in the store. Many people would start doing business on all those actions. I think the old clothing gets sold as second hand. Even selling from shop.join-eby.com at a higher price. I was pretty confused when I saw it. But that stuff it's so good to wear. Used that store a few times.

Blimey!
Brings back memories of The Ramones.
Knees through the jeans and all that.
Wouldn't surprise me if a pair of Joey's Converse turned up on The Antique Road Show one day.

Fat chance of my late 60's early 70's Woolworths basketball plimsolls making any cash, even I did still have them
