Problem:
“Our organisation keeps clothing out of landfills. We do our
part to be sure that everything you donate will either be given to individuals
or used in industrial applications.” Cash for Clothes: Online
Service:
Cash for Clothes is an organisation that buys used clothing,
rags, books and more from private wholesalers, public organisations, and
individuals for 65 pence per kilo. These items are sorted and the best of them
are sent to places where poverty makes the need most necessary. What is left is
then recycled into more fabric and other textiles. Nothing is wasted and the
process is simple.
“Call us, text us, send us an email, or drop your
recyclables off at one of our many depots in the in the West Midlands. We will
pick up clothes the same day, or we will schedule a time to suit your schedule.
We sort the clothes to be given to the needy or to be recycled into fibres for
third world industries. We even pay up to 65 pence per kilo for clothes,
depending upon condition, and we pay the very day we pick them up, We Take Any
Clothes.” Cash for Clothes: Online
Outcome:
‘Help yourself to help us help those in need’ is the tagline
of the Cash for Clothes website and this perfectly summarises the service they
offer.
Conclusion:
Cash for clothes is actually a charity which I did not know
before I started researching their services. Cash for clothes differs from other
online sites and retailers that give money in exchange for unwanted goods such
as Envirophone, Mazuma and Music Magpie, by offering collections and drop off
centres rather than sending items in the post. By giving people a reward or
incentive for donating unwanted clothing it encourages them to dispose of them
in this way rather than just throwing them in the bin to go into landfill.
