DONATE CLOTHES

So you've Marie Kondo-ed your closet - now what?

Instead of sending your unwanted clothes straight to the landfill, consider donating instead!

Why donate? It's a simple alternative to ensure that your old clothing gets a new lease of life, either through reselling, up-cycling, recycling, or more. Not only will you be benefiting someone else with your donations, you'll also be playing a part in combating the textile waste issue in Singapore.

And of course, it's always good to remember that consuming more consciously is the most sustainable option possible. Purchase only when you need it and support sustainable brands - that's how we keep the movement going! Thrifting or swapping are also wonderful alternatives if you're looking to buy better.

Here, we've summarised a list of organisations that would happily take in your donations.

The Salvation Army is a name that's probably familiar to most. Committed to aiding the underprivileged, you can be sure your donated clothing will be put to good use.

Check out their list of available drop-off points here.
