14. Donate Old Clothes and Household Items
Instead of throwing away old clothes and household items that are still in good condition, consider donating or selling them. Donating items to charities or thrift stores not only helps reduce trash but can also benefit those in need. Additionally, selling items online or at a garage sale can provide some extra cash while also keeping items out of landfills.
When donating or selling items, be sure to only give away items that are in good condition and can be reused. Clothing, furniture, and household items that are damaged or broken should be properly disposed of. Donating and selling items also helps promote a circular economy, where items are reused and repurposed rather than being discarded. By extending the life of items through donation and resale, we can reduce the amount of waste and trash generated and lessen our impact on the environment.
