2023Today’s Resolution: Donate Your Extra Clothes
There’s a plethora of places that want your old clothes. Maybe you got skinnier, or maybe you chubbed up over the holidays like I did. I know that you think you’re going to want to wear those clothes again when you lose the weight, but the truth is that you’re gonna want new clothes to show off your bodacious bod. And if you lost weight and are currently saving your fat clothes, for ***** sake, donate them already!
Here are a few quick links to places that’ll gladly take clothes off your hands. Unfortunately, I’ve heard that using the Salvation Army pick-up service and donating to Goodwill often means having your clothes sold to bigger businesses who turn your clothes into rags and profit. So I’d recommend donating to your local shelters, community centers first if you’re able. They’ll surely donate any excess that they can’t use. Here are a couple alternatives:
- American Red Cross Pickup
- Purple Heart Pickup Service (only available in NJ, DE, PA, MD & VA)
- Big Brother / Big Sister Foundation, will will pick up too.
And if you want to share some of your own favorite charities, you’re totally welcome to do so in the comments.

Look up other textile recycling programs. For example, Nike has a Reuse-A-Shoe program where they’ll take worn-out athletic shoes, grind them up, and use them to create playgrounds, courts, and more. See if the clothes can be composted. Items that are 100 percent cotton can be composted—shred them finely, remove any attachments, and add it to your compost pile.
