cash for clothes?

miss choc

I am doing a major cleanout on old jumpers, tops, jeans, shoes, bags belts I have tried adverts and got rid of some but not all. Anyone know in Dublin where I can do that cash for clothes thing ie filling up a bin bag of clothes for a fiver I know its not much but if it takes them off my hands and gives me more space for new clothes I'm happy with that

I don't know about that, but you could always just donate them to a charity shop?

I saw a place in Artane advertising this, beside where Londis used to be, now a Polish shop. Across from Artane castle. Have no idea how much you would get but doubt it will be much.

There's a place called Cash for Clothes in Palmerstown. I think they give €5 per bag you bring in. They have a few locations, have a look at www.cashforclothes.ie

There's also another place www.clearout.ie

They not only take clothes but it seems books, dvds and other bits... Have a few bags myself that I must drop to them.... Even if its only €5... rather the money be in my pocket then in someone elses!!

€5, that's crap.
Jesus, I'd rather they went to people who needed them.

Would rather happily give the clothes to a charity shop who need as little as that to continue selling each day. How can a charity shop compete with businesses doing that to them?

Problem is Loopy most of the time they don't!:( There is so many bogus clothing collection "charities" going around these days it's crazy. I refuse to put any of my clothes out at the front door with the stickers on anymore. I don't know if i'm alone in feeling this but, I can't send my old clothes to a charity shop without washing and ironing them 1st, i have to check the quality and condition and end up throwing away the cheapo penney's or stained stuff in the bin. I still end up going down with 5 black sack's full of clothes and the last time the woman in SVDP told me they didn't have enough room to take them and started going through them there and then to pick out the bags she would keep!!!:eek::eek: I was mortified because I had all my old maternity clothes and when this tiny little woman pulled out my jeans holding them up in the air for the other woman to see, they could have wrapped around her 4 times over..... they were huge!!!:p

I have 4 kids now and don't have time to be messing around the exceptionally good stuff go down to Oxfam and we chuck the other bags down to the cash for clothes place in Walkinstown. My partner came back with €30 last Friday!!:D Half the crap in it had grass stain's and weren't really in any condition to sell on so why not!?!:)

I'm very wary of the door to door people as well. The only ones I'd leave out for is the Irish Cancer Society as they do official collections and leave proper bags etc.

Normally though I just bring the clothes to the clothes banks (the places like the bottle recycling banks), and again only use the ones that are for 'official' Irish charities.

Charity shops will take stuff that cant be sold, they recycle the clothes that have holes, stains etc so please think about them when having a clearout. The shop my sis is working in will more than likely be closing soon if donations dont pick up. 2 of those cash for clothes places have opened up near her and has had a huge affect on donations. €5 for a bag of clothes could make €150 to a charity shop.

Hi,
Try to sell it on ebay for something very cheap or try a local charity.

cheers,

What we do at home is bring anything thats still pretty decent to the charity shops (after washing ansd ironing) and we just throw everything else into those clothes banks
