wasteful ?

Cleaned out my closet. It was a hard hard work.....hard to give away the good old stuff.... dropped 2 big bags in the Salvation Army box . If clothes are still in decent shape I donate them but some people just toss everything in a bag and let the charity sort through it. I don´t make extra work for people who are voluteering their time. I know "one mans trash is anothers treasure" but I never donate clothes that are stained, dirty, have holes or just look really bad. So I throw away my old, smelly, worn down shoes like those 20!!! yrs old pair :

I had ditched those old boots in the regular trash bag together with dirt and other crap that not recycled. I don´t think you can recycle old, worn down boots or shoes.
My question is: Well done or wasteful ?

 

Sounds well done to me! I never donate clothing with stains or holes either. Usually I'll recycle them by cutting them up and using them as dust cloths, or I use them as scrap material for craft projects.

 

Ok, that was an honest thread. And I don't really want to be mean about it. In my mind it really this isn't that mean.

Chrissy, I'm sure I speak for most when I say that, either way, no one 'really' gives a flying fuck whether it was well done or waste.

 

did you find any dead cats in your closet?

 

When I cleaned out my closet I had tons of clothes that I didnt want and just threw them in the dumpster.. I figure there are people living in dumbsters and I shouldnt just ingore them... Im being serious as well, cause I see people actually going in there and getting things...so I hope they enjoy the 90210 sweatshirts and the acid washed jeans...and Keds...

 

yeah I do that too
oh and it was definitely well done!

 

or skeletons?

 

i found a gun in mine. it was pretty surreal.

 

i dont donate to the thrift store. I wear all my clothes til they are unwearable.

oh and i get damn near all of it from the thrift store, anyways, so its not like it will make it around a THIRD time, you know?

but i got 31 pairs of jeans and i wear all of em

 

i got a couple bags of clothing i'm plannign on donating to the value village here, but i never seem to get my butt up there to drop them off

 

I wish someone would donate me some damned clothes......I've been wearing this loincloth for years now, and my boner has just about poked through the front......

 

okey, okey, those old, ugly boots were long, long overdue for the trash bag :& ...completely wortless trash.

 

Sorry but those old boots were really just worthless rubbish. I must double post to say that but I asked my recycling center.
