Donating clothes

I'm a huge fan of donating to Housing Works. It's a bit of a haul because it's on Montague in Bklyn Heights, but not too bad on the 2 or 3 train. They're always so happy to have donations and it's an awesome cause.

Goodwill?

there is a clothing donation - textile recylcing place that shows up at the green market at the GAP. Saturdays...

Subject: Textile recycling

Hey,
I run a company called wearable collections. We will be collecting textiles at the Grand Army Plaza greenmarkets every saturday. a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the clothing will go back to the CENYC in order to improve the NYC environment.

in my opinion, giving directly to people (as directly as possible) is most efficient. otherwise, clothes are accepted by an organization that then sells the clothes, and a portion of the revenue goes to where needed - no offense. hearts are in the right place. i'm just trying to clarify for myself. please explain if you feel otherwise. of course, i don't know how to give directly, aside from just happening across connections. some of the ideas above might be the solution. also, what is wrong with salvation army?

Is there anything wrong with Goodwill? There's one on Fulton around Franklin and another on Livingston around Bond.

I've been happy dropping off my clothes and fabrics and shoes at Grand Army Plaza. They'll take nice stuff, but they'll also take old, worn out stuff for recycling. Apparently textiles are a surprisingly-large portion of the NYC waste-stream, and separating them out that way is supposedly worthwhile.
