I'm having a much needed clearout and have bagged up quite a lot of clothes (some never even worn)

What do you all do with your old clothes? Bin, charity shop, drop off for homeless...

The problem is the easiest things to do it bin them, otherwise its a 30 minute walk to the nearest charity shop and they are not light. There is no charity collection to our building
 
Do you not get those clothes collection things around your area?
Were always finding those plastic envelopes with the bags inside for the collections outside out house...simply bag them up in the bag provided,Leave it in view on the day it says on the bag.
 
Sell them and add it to your leftovers from your monthly budget. You may get to pay for lunch with colleagues from the proceeds.

You won't be to "skint".
 
Charity shop, gift aided.

If the shop feels they are not sellable, they have regular collections from a textiles merchant, who will give them something for them as rags.
 
Nice unworn or barely worn stuff I'll give first refusal to people on Facebook for a token price of a couple of quid (unless its an expensive item like a jacket) - otherwise I tend to keep my clothes until they aren't wearable anymore (torn or develop holes etc) at which point they get cut up into rag and used in the garage.
 
No clothes collection thing in my area. Some things are unworn, like gym vests that never fit but forgot to take back. Some non designed, some designer.

Chairty is a 30 minute walk away and the bin it downstairs. Might just leave them by the green recycle bin, then someone will probably see them and take if they want anything

Its a shame no charity collection comes to the apartment building i'm in as there are around 600 flats
 
Our local fire station has a clothes bin outside it that all our clothes go into - monies raised go to the fire fighters charity.
 
Do you have any supermarkets near you that have charity collection points like this one (we have loads in our area):

Thats made me feel better anyway. I just went down into the basement and the big green bin i thought was for food recycle is actually a clothing bank (like that oxfam thing above)
