Ways to Reuse Old Clothing

Old clothes do not have to become trash, but unsanitary garments should not enter community sharing.

Direct answer Wearable clothes can be given away or swapped. Light damage can be disclosed so the next person decides. Mould, heavy soiling and underwear are poor sharing candidates.

Paths to consider - Intact garments: publish a LoopSwap giveaway or swap with size and fibre notes. - Alteration only: say you are offering material, not a finished garment. - If a local textile point exists, verify its current rules. Do not treat an outdated poster as fact.

Hygiene Wash and dry before you photograph. Do not claim medical-grade disinfection. For children’s clothing with cords, mention age suitability. The recipient still decides.
