CLOTHING RECYCLING NEWS:
I haven't heard of this chain of stores before but I am intrigued. They are franchising clothing recycling for-profit stores:
"With over 300 Plato's Closet store locations throughout the United
States, and Canada, that number continues to grow. Be part of the trend
and turn your passion into your business!
A Plato’s Closet franchise offers entrepreneurs a very unique small business opportunity, based on a sound business model and the support of parent company, Winmark Corporation. Initial investment requirements range from $178,500 - $354,000*."

In other clothing recycling news I've been reading about those big metal collection boxes for "Clothes, Shoes". Not all of them are owned by charities. If you want your donation to go to a non-profit check the name on the bins and check online to see what type of outfit they are.
I also enjoyed this article about recycling being a way of life in the last century (remember string balls?)
