Unwanted works uniform

5 replies

Does anybody know of anywhere that will take branded works uniform mostly t-shirts and jumpers . The company that I worked for didn't want them back but most of it is still in good condition.
I've asked local charity shops and they can't take them because they can't resell branded stuff also most of the weigh & pay type clothes places won't take them either for the same reason.
I could keep some of it for doing decorating , housework, gardening etc in but as two was worked for the same company we've got quite a lot and don't want it stuffed in the bottom of the wardrobe forever.
I've tried on picking the stitching but it leaves to much of a mark on the clothes for them to be worn after.
It seems a waste just to chuck them all in the bin.

I have a bag of a dozen donated polo shirts that my Brownie unit uses as aprons - they cover everything for the inevitable wiping hands on the bottom moment! Might be worth seeing if there's any youth groups that could use them in this way.

I know the local brownie group had to move out of the place they meet up at a while ago ( much gnashing of teeth by the local DPs ) but I will see if i can find out where they went to and ask them .

One of the charity shops I tried was the red cross as I thought the same as enko but they only take stuff to resell , not to ship abroad , but it may be worth me checking to see if I have a local unicef branch to see if they want them
