Clothes bank for me. I got rid of 4 bin liners full last weekend.

Washed first of course.

Charity Shop. Particularly if there is any decent stuff.

Whichever is easier so long as the clothes bank isn't run by Gaia (religious cult).

Kids stuff - hand-me downs to friends/family.
Adult stuff - worn to destruction then added to the oily rag pile.

Anything else in good nick - charity shop.

charity shop. any old stuff that's unfit they then get cash for putting through the cloth recycling system.
Red Cross shop near me is very good and has got a lot of my 'custom' over last couple of years (clearing folks house).

This. If it's wrecked, do the clothes bank not send stuff for rags?

My local bin collection does collection of clothes and textiles, any condition on the same day as regular recycling I think. Only small bags at a time, but spread it out over some weeks and easy to get rid of.

The charity bags that come through I find aren't collected unless right on the pavement, and I'm not keen on doing that as local scrotes have a habit of kicking anything on the pavement into the busy road and gets scattered all over the road then. Bin stuff is collected from just inside property so less of a problem.

Also, been reports charity bags are often stolen by others.

I took all mine down the Help the Aged. I saw it not just as charity but as an investment in my future 🙂

Decent stuff goes to charity shops, battered stuff to the textile skip at the recycling centre.

Charity shop. If they don't sell to customers off the street they'll sell them for rags.

I got a letter telling me that BHF had made £85 from a single bag I gave them! For my tat!!
