Disposing of dead kit

mm1

Not really a buying advice question, but I'm pondering what to do with dead clothing. Not really something that could go in the clothes bank, but are the synthetic materials in cycle clothing recyclable or is anything that's non longer wearable destined for landfill?

Upcycle it into trendy cushions?

Or bin it safe in the knowledge that through your human propulsion versus using the car its already saved loads of energy.

The jersey and fabrics make good cleaning rags. Beyond that point you've probably done your bit..

'Dead' in what sense? If it's damaged, maybe repair it. If it's still wearable, then donate it or ebay it. Otherwise, a lot of recycling centres will now take textiles...

H&M will take any clothing no matter the condition for recycling.

Try the Classifieds on here, I've seen loads of stuff for sale in worse condition than stuff I've binned

I normally give them a last life as rags to clean the drivetrain, after which it is landfill

I think the clothes that get put into clothing banks that are not fit for use are still useful - I'm sure the material gets reused.

If you sell them on here, please make sure you clean the pad in the shorts properly; I beleve someone make have sent out a claggy pair in the past.
