Used clothes are those that may not have been used (with few exceptions) for 5 years up. Do you have any? Where are they? Where do you place them? If you're fully convinced they're no longer of use to you, what's the best option for them.

I only have a few pieces of old clothes nic. Because during Christmas time, some of my relatives and other friends would come to the house and I would give them whatever clothes, shoes or bags that I do not use anymore. I am a person who do not want to keep old things that I no longer use. Other people can still use them. Have a nice day!

Hello! So ARIES1973 and Sharon Lopez are one and the same. For me this is a great find and discovery and for which I am thanking the Lord. From this time on, I now will be comforted with the thought that I now have a very strong and dependable companion which is you in the struggle for existence in this field of the internet. Like you, DILG is a sweet name for me. It's where I spent the juicy years of my life. 12 years ago I said goodbye to the service. Just call me LoloNick Maganda at kahanga-hanga ang ginagawa mo tungkol sa iyong mga kagamitan. Iyan ay pinakikinabangan lalo na mga kaawa-awa. Ipagpatuloy mo.

Yearly, after New year, my husband , daughter and me would make a general cleaning of our closets. WE would sort out for those clothes that we don't like using anymore and put them in a bag. WE would bring the bag to my married sisters and they will first see what will fit them and have them for themselves. If they don't fit, we give them to the caretakers of some of our lots in the islands. It's one way of helping people also.

Well, I have to say that there is no way that I would keep clothes that were no longer useful to me for that many years. However, I do have ways that I get rid of clothes that are no longer useful to me. When it comes to clothes that still have a lot of life in them, but not for our family, I choose to donate them to charity because I know that these charities help a lot of people that wouldn't have anything without the charity. Those things that are worn out, I will try to repurpose them into something that does serve a use for me. For example, a worn out pair of jeans will become cleaning rags for me.

Donating used clothes and other items to charity is a trait worth emulating. Repurposing or reinventing used clothes for other personal grand purpose is likewise advisable. I praise you for this deeds.

I have lots of unused clothes, others doesn't fit me anymore. Some of them is given to my younger relatives while others are in my cabinet. Those that I keep are still almost like new and I am waiting for the time that I am willing to give them up. Lol. I have 2 shirts that's almost ripped out but still wear it at home because I love wearing them.

You're a kababayan 'belinda' and happy to talk with you. You're perhaps a Visaya, am I correct? Am a Visaya and proud to be one. As to used clothes, I hope they'll end up in those who can't afford and more than willing to use them once more. Giving them to relatives is a blessing.

I dont have any clothes that have not been used for 5 years. But i do continue wear clothes up to 5 years. For those that i am sure i won't be wearing or using it again, the best option is to donate it.

Yes, zhihao12, I do agree with you that donating clothes no longer used is by far the best option. Unfortunate souls are more than willing to use them again. Without malice, I may ask, are there poor people in Singapore who are willing to accept used clothes?

We put old clothes in the storage room. Lately, my mother is starting to get rid off them. She decided to have garage sale.

Yes, it's one good way of disposing used clothes. At least you recover something from the sale.

I keep some of them in a small suitcase on top of my closet because they have sentimental values. The rest I either put them up in a garage sale or donate them. The same goes with shoes...

"donate them" is a term pleasing to the ears. I think its one kind trait of Aussie people like you.
