Because they are too small, too big, old-fashioned, worn out but we like them anyway ... We tend to keep in his closet clothes / shoes that we do not wear anymore.
Recycle to better crack
Result, we lose space, while a sorting would free up space ... A 100% beneficial operation. We give you 3 reasons to go there:
- Make room for future purchases . Because it was nice to deploy treasures of ingenuity to cram his clothes a moment ago, too much is too much. By eliminating clothes that are no longer worn, we take stock of those we miss and those we have quadruple copies. Result, we will be more efficient and we will avoid cracking during our next shopping trip!
- To arrange a canon dressing . The trend is to purge and open dressings ! Both say, both leave little room for disorder! In addition, by tidying up better, you will be able to gain a lot of time when you get dressed (and get a few minutes of sleep in the morning).
- Save money . When we have put aside the clothes we no longer wear, we can obviously give them to an association, for example by depositing them in one of the 20,000 containers of the association Le Relais, which recovers the clothes in good state and exploits them again. The other option? Recycle clothes in some shops ... in exchange for vouchers. We explain to you how to do it!
