@@clemensruis no i mean, they make it seem like it’s a life saving charity and you’re doing the right thing for humanity. But…the companies turn around and sell the blood that you gave them for free for hundreds to thousands of dollars a pint. And when it’s finally used in a hospital, check out a hospital bill to see how much they charge the patient. So multiple companies make money off of your blood after convincing you to give it for free.

[@jcout25]

And do they take your soiled underwear garments? Do they take stained clothing? Probably not. This service does. Granted, the average person might not have enough destroyed clothing to justify the $15 price, so you're paying for the convenience of getting rid of all of it at once. And they've made more than you have this year, and they're doing something good for the environment. Which you are not.

Most DONATED clothing ends up in a landfill either in the US or other countries like Ghana, Kenya, Chile. Anyone who thinks most donated clothing is sold or given to the needy is just kidding themselves. The best way to avoid it is to simply stop buying things we don’t really need.

[@canag0d]

I volunteered in a donation place that accepted and then sifted through all the “donations”. Most of it is garbage and goes straight in the trash. Then another large percentage aren’t sellable and also go in the garbage. So probably 80% or more of what people donate goes straight in the garbage. If someone actually cares about recycling these clothes then donating them is not a good option. They should have focused on this point.

[@Abheek1211]

You're not wrong. But the problem is, these guys won't upcycle your clothes and make sure each one of them is wearable at the end of the process. They're just selling it to someone else buying in bulk who will do exactly what you said. Trash 80% of the clothes that aren't salvageable and sell the rest. At least in the case of a donation, some person who actually needs it, is getting it for free.

Net worth is a totally made up number though, complete guesswork with no basis in reality. There’s no way the company is making enough money for anyone to want to pay 1.2m to buy the company, ergo it’s essentially worthless beyond the small yearly profit they are making

This is one of the worst ideas I've ever seen. First off it's reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycling is hugely inefficient and the last resort. Textiles are one of the simplest things to reuse. Just because I don't want a shirt doesn't mean it needs to be recycled, somebody else can wear it. Also I donate plenty of clothes but there is a zero percent chance I'm going to pay to do something I already do for free. What a truly horrendous idea.
