Less desirable items go through a series of bulk buyers, repurposers and recyclers both in the U.S. When you drop off clothes for donation, they are first sorted so the most valuable garments are sold online and in thrift shops. What happens when you donate old clothes? Here’s what to consider when cleaning out your closet. While all but five percent of donated textiles are resold for reuse or recycling, it’s impossible to know exactly how much ultimately becomes trash.ĭeciding where to donate makes a big difference not only to your environmental footprint but also to your community. “Everyone has ‘skin’ in the supply chain, so there’s incentive to not lose items to landfill because that will be a loss of revenue,” says Amelia Trumble, CEO and co-founder of Retold Recycling. ( Fast fashion goes to die in the world’s largest fog desert.) The rest goes through a series of sales, from resellers to textile recyclers both in the U.S. residents generate an average of 82 pounds of textile waste every year, with 85 percent of it going to landfills or incinerators even though 95 percent can be reused.ĭonating is a popular alternative-but know that only about 10 to 20 percent of donated clothing gets sold at thrift shops. But cheap clothes aren’t made to last and that excess often ends up in a long chain of carbon- and labor-intensive reselling and recycling, if not directly into a landfill.
