Autumn has begun. Time to put away your breezy summer clothes and grab the warm jumpers and scarves. But what about the clothes you never wear anymore? These three steps will help you organise your wardrobe and give the clothes you no longer wear a second life.
Three steps to a tidy closet
Grab three bins or bags and make piles:
- Love - this will make you happy
- Doubt - try on, then decide
- Get rid of it - to the textile container, thrift shop or giveaway group
What is allowed in the textile container?
All textiles are welcome in the collection containers specifically for textiles, including worn or broken clothes and household textiles. Towels, tablecloths, bedding and even soft toys can simply be handed in. Many people hesitate about this, but separating textiles helps to reuse and recycle them better.
Textiles do not belong in residual waste
Yet it still happens often. Broken clothes, socks with holes, old towels or sheets: all too often, they still end up in residual waste containers. This is unnecessary, because textiles collected separately are given a second life - even if they are broken and no longer wearable.
Together through the seasons
By using textiles consciously, you reduce waste and help create a waste-free future. This way, we go through the seasons together - ensuring a clean environment and less waste.
So: put on that warm jumper, make a cup of tea and give your closet a fresh start. Small effort, big difference.
