I have to throw my clothes away, because I keep my clothes so long they are very worn out.

I wear clothes until they are completely worn out and have to be thrown away.  Can't afford to keep replacing them.

I donate them or give them to friends.  Sometimes I save the material for quilting squares.

DO you give to other family or neighbors for hamidowns or do you donate to goodwill for tax deduction garage sales ?? I used to give to ounger siblings and stuff but now they are older and have more of a style going to give a ton of clothes away this summer to clean my room and to donate for a cause better then just sitting in my room and a tax deduction wouldnt be bad either What do you guys do ?
With that in mind, it's a lot harder to just say sayonara to our unwanted duds. Here are some eco-friendly suggestions for getting rid of your unwanted items:

-Pass them on
-Repurpose them
-Transform them

Most of mine are donated to either the Rescue Mission, Salvation Army, nursing homes or women's shelters.

Here in Utah we have a place called Deseret Industries (and there are also DI vans across the US) where you can donate usable clothing and other items in good condition. DI employs hundreds of people, many of them hard to place in more traditional jobs, of all races, religions, creeds, etc. It's an amazing organization.

Most of the time I just donate them to Goodwill. I don't get rid of clothes that often because I really don't buy clothes that much.

My daughters old clothes I have given to the neighbor and her cousin but my clothes I donate in the donation boxes around town. If I have the time to plan I want to have a garage sale too to make a little money on some of my stuff too

i cut the back pockets out of jeans to make a jean pocket quilt.  i've made one so far and it took me ten yea :wave:rs to save enough pockets.  i've been saving again for about 4 years.  i decorate the pocket and attach small stuffed animals in them for kids.  pretty neat.  the rest of my clothes go to the goodwill or trash depending on the shape they're in

I went through my closets the other day and have them bagged up to take to good will.  I could not get in some of them and others that belonged to my mother and she passed away 13 years ago and now it is time to get rid of them.  May God bless each of you and keep you safe.
