Textiles are one of the hardest things to recycle and one of the easiest to reuse. If a garment is clean and wearable, giving it away is almost always better than throwing it out.
Sort by wearable vs worn-out
Anything clean and in good condition can be given away as-is. Truly worn-out fabric — holes, stains that won’t wash out — is better sent to a textile-recycling drop-off, not passed to another person.
Bundle sensibly
Group by size and type — "boys’ clothes age 5–6, 8 pieces" or "women’s winter wear, M". Bundles move faster than single items and are simpler for one person to collect in a single trip.
Give locally for a same-week handover
Posting clothes on a local give-away platform like Trezow puts them in front of neighbours who can collect within days. Everything is free, so there is no negotiation — just a quick, kind handover.
