No One Wants Used Clothes Anymore
Local thrift stores still desire these clothes. Having volunteered at a thrift store though, they are not a dumping ground for all of your dead relatives clothes and they are not a trashcan for all the clothes you've put holes in. If you have clothing which you could still wear but don't want/don't fit in anymore then consider donating. Especially consider it if you are a non-standard (American) size ie. not big and tall. Petite/short can be good for kids and adults, slim-fitting clothes are always in want, manual labor has a tendency to eat up shoes so decent shoes are always good and anything which was in fashion just a year or two ago is especially nice.
