Do you know what happens after you get your text though?
This is a very likely scenario:
All of those bags of donated goods are sent to a warehouse, where they are unpacked and sorted into clothing types.
One section will be t-shirts. All the white t-shirts will be separated from the colour t-shirts and baled up. If the intention is for rags, white t-shirt material for rags are charged at the higher rate than colour tee-shirts.
The jackets will go to one section. Each jacket type will be sorted according to the jacket type. Puffer jackets will go together. Trench coats will go together. Kids sizes together. And so on.
Then on to the next category of long dress, short dress, light colour trousers, dark colour trousers, gym wear, jeans, shoes well that is just a whole other paragraph.
Then these are sanitized and compressed and wrapped up. A lot of the time they are wrapped up in things like sheeting and multiple of duvet covers and blankets that are there too.
Then they go up for sale and get shipped out to the buyer, who has now ordered 600kg bale of white tees, 50kg of short jackets and 200kg of jeans. A 50kg jacket bale is around 40 - 50 jackets.
Then they arrive to an African port and get shipped off to whoever ordered the bales. Some are for donations, some are for rag businesses, and some are for just for resale. For those going for resale, it just takes a walk to downtown central and there on the street and piles and piles of clothes. Heaped piles With a cardboard sign above saying the price per each item. Jeans 50p, dresses 20p etc.
I think if more people could see the reality, then maybe they would think twice before thinking about adding 20 items to their cart for the upcoming holiday.
