As an online seller of secondhand kids clothes, we've seen our share of the good and the bad when it comes to rips, stains, and fraying fuzzies. Let's face it - kids put some serious wear and tear on clothes, which is not always a bad thing.
The way we see - paints splatters, big rips at the knees, grass stains here and there are all possible signs that good times were had and the clothes were well-loved.
But - what to do with the clothes aside from tossing them in the trash?🤔
While the rips and the stains can be repaired and patched over, often times the quality deteriorates beyond acceptable norms. The clothes are just a little too loose, have too much fray, or have been passed down one too many times.
Well, did you know that Carter's has a recycling program through Terracycle - and it's FREE! Yup, free.🙌🏽
The clothes are sorted, shredded, and recycled into raw material, eliminating more waste from our landfills.
To get started, sign up with Terracycle here. Again - it's free, but enrollment limits do apply.
Collect the clothes and box them up. Print out a prepaid shipping label from Terracycle, finish packaging, and send it off! You're done! 👏🏽 One less box for the landfill.
And, no - this is not a paid advertisement and we're not affiliated with Terracycle - just a recycler looking to dispose of trash more responsibly. ♥️✌🏽
