One of the major fashion issues is the amount of clothes that are thrown away each year. In order to reduce textile waste, follow ways to properly get rid of clothes.
Second Hand Stores
Just as purchasing from second hand stores is good for the environment, so is giving your clothes to them. The best and easiest way to get rid of clothes is donating them at thrift stores. Stores such as Goodwill take donations in their buildings and also have bins in certain places where you can put your clothes. By taking clothes to thrift stores, you support organizations doing change in your community and provide affordable clothing for others to buy. If you have more high quality or expensive clothes that you want to get money out of, you can sell your clothes to upscale second hand stores and consignment stores.
Up-cycling
If you no longer like the clothes you have, think of ways you can transform them into other things. Up-cycling is a great way to turn old items into something new. With simple techniques, you can turn any old garment into items such as bags, blankets, throw pillows, and many other new clothing pieces. Many ideas are on online apps such as Pinterest, Youtube, and Instagram. Don't let good materials go to waste.
