It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

How to Recycle clothes
1. Donate to thrift shops and donation boxes/ clothing drop spots
There are many thrift shops you can donate to like goodwill, or in some places there are green metal boxes that say donate on them, or just say clothing on them where you can give clothes you don't want.
2. turn shirts and soft clothing into toys
You can use the fabric to sew stuffed toys or turn them into thin strips to use them as yarn. Turn old socks to sock puppets
3. turn old clothing into new clothing!
turn your jeans to shorts and turn your shorts to skirts,cut the neckline of a shirt to turn it into an off the shoulder shirt. Make shirts into tank tops and cut the sleeves out of long sleeve shirts and make leg warmers or just as add on sleeves for fashion.
4. Turn them into rags for cleaning
