Textiles put into the garbage will end up in landfill, where they take up valuable space and contribute to climate change. Clothing that is reused or repurposed keeps the items in circulation and extends their life. Even if it has a stain or a button missing, it is best to donate to a larger organization who has downstream partners to reuse it. Simply label the bag as “not for resale” so that they don’t even have to open it up and sort it.
