    What to do with old clothes...
    So had a clear out of my wardrobe last week and I've got 4 black bin bags full of clothes that I no longer need/want/wear.

    Suggestions on what to do with them before I just tip them in my local clothes recycle bin?

    If there's any 'decent' stuff like Gap or other sort of 'brand names', try selling them on eBay?

    This ^ or otherwise you could charity shop it. I know when I used to work in a charity shop we could never get hold of enough nice looking, fashionable-ish clothes, people would snap them up ASAP! Leaving the dregs left behind to give charity shop clothes a bad rep

    Plus that can be your good deed for the day and then you have a free pass to be naughty! :mmm:

    I second charity shops. Also, they recycle any clothes that are riped, etc.

    I'd route out the resalable ones and stick um on Ebay (tho it's more hassle than it's worth if a few quid mean nowt to you) and give the rest to the nearest charity shop (hell most of my gear come from those two places in the first place)

    EBay. Or a charity shop. Or those charity collection bags that come around. Swap with mates?
