If your unwanted clothing is in great condition and you could use the money, selling your clothing is always an option! You might want to try using Facebook buy/swap/sell groups or visiting a local second-hand store.

Other sections may include household items, appliances, books, toys, furniture and baby items such as strollers and second-hand clothes are less likely to end up in landfills.

3. Take care of your clothes

Taking care of your clothes will make you look better, help them last longer, and save you a ton of money when compared to buying new ones. Proper methods of cleaning, drying, and storing your clothes will both extend their life and make them look better.

4. Repurpose old clothes

Because it conserves energy and it takes a lot of energy to produce clothing; every item goes through a complex manufacturing process that uses an extraordinary amount of electricity and water. By recycling clothes when they are no longer wanted, you ensure that all that energy doesn’t simply go to waste

2. Hang anything delicate, fancy, or sturdy.

Maybe you have enough space to hang every single T-shirt you own, but if you don’t, then stick with hanging the obvious stuff. That means delicate items like dresses, skirts, and lingerie, fancy items like suits, and sturdy, structured pieces like coats and blazers.

3. Use the “one in, one out” rule to keep your clothes collection in check.

This means that each time they bring something new into their closets, they need to let go of an existing item.   In some cases, this item must come from the same category as the new piece (a dress for a dress or a long-sleeved top for a long-sleeved top), but it can also just be one for one from any wardrobe area.

4. Declutter your clothes by category.

A fast, easy way to declutter your clothes is to sift through them by type. Tossing every piece of clothing you own into a massive fabric mountain on your bed is overwhelming and inefficient. Instead, separate your clothes into categories like pants, dresses, tops, outerwear, accessories, and undergarments. Then sort through every item in a single category before moving on to the next, If anything gives you reason to hesitate, toss it in a pile for donation.
