When i came to America i had a huge luggage problem. I had to watch the weight of my luggage back home so that it would not exceed the limit. If anyone would have seen my room in the first days i was here they would think i m poor. A few days ago i discovered that the weight which my mother and I thought was the limit for the luggage, was even higher that we thought. Well everyone can imagine i went out to the mall and bought my self clothes since everything is so cheap here in contrast with my country and of course the weather is not as fierce and cold as back home. i had to prepare my self. I have ended up almost filling up my closet without worrying anymore so much about the weight.
Before i discovered the limit was much more than i thought, i was trying to discover ways to get rid of my old clothes. I found out that here it is possible to sell clothes back to the store whereas in my country no such thing exists. People can so sell their old clothes and get a small profit out of it. My point is that rather than throwing clothes to the garbage bins people can sell them and so avoid an extra burden to the environment. Another solution of course is to give them to charity. In that case you will not only help the environment but also other fellow citizens who really need clothes.
I probably will give them to the church and know that i helped someone.

I'm a big fan of Amvets. You can just pull up to their drop off area and get rid of all your old clothes and things that you don't need. I admit I get a serious warm fuzzy knowing that those things will go to someone that actually wants them.
My mother never threw away any of our clothes that were in good conhdition still, we always donated them
I always clean out my closet every spring and fall when I change my close around. I give all of the things I dont wear to the salvation army or good will. My rule is if I haven't worn in a year it's gone. I feel like it helps other people out and it makes me feel good to clean out my things. Plus I love to shop and need the room!
