WIBU to put these clothes in the bin?

I have a bunch of school uniform clothes that DS has grown out of. They've been washed and put aside. We live some distance from his school. This is due to us being rehoused by the council following eviction. The area we are in isn't in the catchment area for the school. Therefore none of our local charity shops want the clothes. There is a charity shop in a village outside the school that stocks second hand uniform. I contacted them and asked if they could pick it up. They said they couldn't. I can't go there myself as I don't drive. I've since been trying to find general clothing banks but when I've gone to places they were previously they weren't there. I am now sick of the sight of these pissing clothes. We live in a tiny flat and they're taking up space while I try and fail to pass them on. I just want to bin the cunts. AIBU? School are definitely definitely not interested in old uniform, have no 2nd hand sales etc and I'm way too busy and too far away to start that kind of shit up.

I feel sad because uniform is expensive and buying it meant I had to do without all sorts of things. So I would like to pass it on to someone else so they won't have to experience this. But I can't.

Primark! Yes! That's just a mile away and I'm passing it tomorrow. I completely forgot till now but yes I remember last time I was in there they had a place where you could put old clothes.

Fucking mint. Thanks so much!

So what exactly do you want op? Can't be arsed to take them to a charity shop. Can't be arsed to sell or give them away online. Can't be arsed to find a clothing bank.

Keep up @MLMshouldbeillegal I'm taking them to Primark.

I've no idea where the clothes banks are now or I would have used them. I even trundled the clothes along to where one of the banks used to be earlier this week on my way to somewhere else, but it's not there now. I have tried!

But yeah hurrah for Primark. At least I know where that is and can get to it and know I won't be trogging the bloody clothes back home again. 👍

Can you son take them to the village charity shop when he goes to school?

Leave 'em in a bag with a label that says "Free" outside the school at school run time? Or even a school event, whatever reason why you need to physically visit the school.
