Many household find themselves with an excess of unwanted or outgrown clothing and want to move these items on in a convenient, responsible way.\u00a0<\/p>\n While there are currently a number of ways to donate or sell goods, there are often issues with these solutions.\u00a0 Secondhand shops on average sell approximately 50% of stock received with the remainder going straight to landfill. Many commercially operated clothing bins are only able to sell 20-30% of donated clothes.
