Clearing your wardrobe without trashing it: give, swap, resell

We often keep clothes we no longer wear, out of laziness to deal with them. Yet giving them a second life is easy and far more satisfying than throwing them out.

Three fates better than the bin

What's still in good shape can be given to a charity or dropped at a collection point. What has value can be resold, and what you still like can be swapped with friends.

Even worn-out textiles can often be recycled rather than trashed. The point is not to waste a material that still holds value.
