\nWhen you donate your clothes, you are saving the environment from a lot of\nharm. According to the EPA, it costs $45 on average per ton to dispose of waste\nin a landfill. Clothing that sits in landfill releases toxic greenhouse gases\nlike carbon dioxide and methane into the environment when they break down.\nLastly, making new clothes takes hundreds of gallons of water, and the\nproduction of new textiles accounts for 10% of all carbon emissions on the\nplanet. All these things can be avoided if you donate your clothes for reuse.

While you\u2019re\ndoing that, you\u2019re probably wondering what you\u2019re going to do with all the old\nclothes. Before you throw them in the trash, consider donating them.
\n

There are many people in need of usable clothing, and\nchildren in need of clothing, and your donations can help.
