How to Get Rid of Used Clothing

Getting rid of used clothing is simple. If you want money for your used clothing, consider selling it online or at a garage sale. If you just want it gone, there are many charitable organizations you can donate your used clothing to.

• Consider having a garage sale to sell your used clothing. Create boxes with a price listed on the front and sort the clothing into each one, if you have a lot of used clothing. If you only have a few items, you can attach a price tag to each one. Place them on hangers so shoppers can easily see them.


• List each clothing item on eBay. You can write a description, take a picture and place a starting bid. Buyers from all over the world can view and bid on your items. If your item sells, you will need to ship it to the buyer after he or she has paid.


• Donate your used clothing to a charitable organization. There are many organizations in every community that accept used clothing. Look online or in your local phone book. If you donate it to an organization, ask for a receipt. Your donation can become a tax write off.


• Look for drop boxes where you can deposit your clothing. Sometimes there are drop boxes in shopping centers or strip malls. If you are out running errands, this is a convenient way to dispose of used clothing.


• Ask friends or family members if they would like to sort through your used clothing. Sometimes your old wardrobe could be someone else's new trend.
