I have to purge regularly these days (Mum), and EVERYTHING goes to charity.
I'm not sure if people here know, but charities get a value from everything donated. Torn or stained clothing? Sold for "rag" value. Ripped and coverless books? Sold by weight to recylers. Old towels and bedding? If given to animal charities will be used as bedding.
I'm a hoarder. I hold onto too much. But at least I'm confident that what I do reduce is either re-used or recycled.
Pretty much my only regular addition to landfill is cat litter.
Sorry guys.
Once I'm working I'll go back to the bio-degradable stuff.
