Huge amounts of textiles and textile accessories end up in the landfill; some of them will take years to dissolve. We spend large sums of money on our waste management, but it is still not nearly enough. Care for your environment; stop throwing away and get money for it.
By selling your clothes by weight, you enable us to sell them by weight as well to the third world countries, like Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania, so people in those countries with small income could buy them later at an affordable prices and still wear them happily.
One ordinary black bin bag of textiles can weigh between 5 kilos and 12 kilos, which will give you between 2.5 and 6 pounds. In our experience, a family of three can bring several times a year roughly about 40–70 kilos of clothes. Surely, you will find where to spend that money for your family needs.
