Donate, Don't Waste
For the first time ever, 5000 charity shops, supported by the Association of Charity Shops, will urge people to donate all the unwanted clothes in their wardrobes and leave nothing to landfill. More than 100 of their member charities have joined together to raise awareness of the environmental benefits of giving unwanted items to charity shops.
Donate, Don't Waste encourages people to think again about what they do with their unwanted clothes. Instead of leaving them gathering dust or dumping them in the bin, our campaign asks them to take the items along to a charity shop.
If each UK household donated one extra black bin bag of clothing, we could save 25 million bags from landfill and raise over £740 million for charity. Clothes which cannot be sold in-store can be sold to textile merchants to raise money for good causes.
