What the French Do With Old Clothes

Today's Tip

They are handed on, altered or sold, and only then discarded. Depot-vente shops take good pieces on consignment, and clothing that cannot be resold is put in textile containers rather than bins.

Try This

Take one bag of good clothes to a consignment shop rather than a charity bin. Anything they refuse goes to textile recycling, not the rubbish.
