Todd Sutton visited Goodwill recently to find out what thrift stores do with all of those unwanted clothes.
From a donator’s stand point, most of us heave a huge sigh of relief after a thrift store clothing drop for three solid reasons:
- Freedom! Goodbye sweater the color of vomit and pants that torture you with their miniscule size.
- Landfill Monster: The last thing the landfill beast needs is more of anything.
- Guilty Secret: You now have room for new stuff.
If Americans replaced two shopping trips to the mall each year by using mail order catalogs, collectively we would:
- Save $490 million on gas costs
- Eliminate time spent driving 3.3 billion miles
- Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by three billion pounds
But what about those catalogs you definitely don’t want? GreenDimes can help. They’ll actually pay you a buck and reduce your junk mail–including catalogs–by up to 90%.
