With the CMCO 2.0, I spend more time at home. More time to spring clean, more time to declutter. And every time I look at my wardrobe, I see old clothes that I don’t wear anymore, and clothes that I don’t even remember having. I confess, I may have shopped too much, unnecessarily.
This video I would like to share, how I normally deal with my old clothes, without throwing them to 🗑
Few simple steps 🙂
1. Pick out the old / unworn clothes, as many as possible (with no mercy).
2. Make sure they are all clean and good in condition.
3. Fold and pack them up nicely.
4. Head to the organisations that could put these old clothes to good use!
BLESS Shop is one of them, they resell used clothes. And part of the profit goes to causes, like helping Myanmar refugees and drug rehab centres. They hire single mothers, Orang Asli and ex drug-rehab patients. For more information about them and where they are situated, please visit www.kedaibless.com �
There are 2 others that I know in Klang Valley, which you can donate old clothes to as well.
1. Kloth Cares keeps unwanted fabrics away from landfills and have over 280 bins in various places for different kind of fabric collection - kloth.com.my�
2. Kechara Soup Kitchen aims to provide sustenance and basic medical care for homeless and urban poor in Malaysia. They do accept unused or used clothes, raincoats, umbrellas, shoes, hats, etc for the underprivileged - https://www.kechara.com/soup-kitchen/about-us/
Happy recycling. Stay home, stay safe-safe.
P/S. Great to recycle, but lets also try to reduce! Every time when the urge to shop hits us, please ask ourselves, “Do I really need this? Don’t I already have something similar?” Easier said than done, but lets try, shall we all? ☺️
