4 ways to pass on old clothes in Manchester
Many of us spent some of our time in lockdown over the past year clearing out our wardrobes. Whether you've changed style, size or just fancy a refresh, you might be left with heaps of clothes you no longer want.
Let's reduce the amount of clothing in landfill by finding other ways to handle our old clothes! Whether you sell them, swap them, donate them or recycle them - keeping them out of the bin is an easy win for the planet
1. Swap with friends!
Swapping clothes with pals is a fab way to bag yourself some new pieces at no extra cost, and it’s fun.
2. Donate them to a charity shop or a homeless shelter
If they’re still wearable, then why not pass them on to a great cause? Make sure to check whether your local charity shop or homeless shelter is in need of what you’re passing on beforehand
3. Get savvy and sell them!
Make some money back by selling old bits online! You could try Ebay, Depop or Vinted to sell on things you no longer wear.
4. Last resort? Recycle them
Textiles should never go in the bin! If your clothes really are past their best and beyond repair, then recycle rhem so they can become something entirely new. To find your local recycling centre search ‘recycle for greater Manchester’ with ‘where’s my nearest recycling centre.’
