Bin it

Throw it away.

Donate to charity, in a bag labelled "rags", along with eg socks, ripped clothing

Pop in a charity fabric recycling point

Wishyfishy · 20/08/2022 13:28

Put it in the clothes recycling bin in town or give to the clothes recycling scheme at H&M?

Bin it. If it’s not good enough for me to wear it’s not good enough for anyone else. Maybe wipe down the kitchen side if the suit is clean.

Do charities not accept swimwear? I’ve seen it in Oxfam.

Any old clothes that can't be donated, I cut up and use for cleaning rags.

i've bought 2nd hand swim stuff from charity shops before. Is selling that now banned?

if it's worn out, it can go to fabric recycling, mark it for "rags" to any clothes bank

Please check with your local charity shop if they actually want 'rags' ... the rules around recycling are constantly changing and many charities are finding it is no longer viable to deal in 'rag'.

zaza687 · 20/08/2022 20:26

Ohh I just assumed they wouldn't take it ?

All the charity shops around where I live take swimwear donations.

Augend23 · 20/08/2022 20:32

Charity shops near me sell swimwear?

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 20/08/2022 20:35

Oxfam take swimwear and bras.

Rosiestraws · 20/08/2022 20:43

You can donate or possibly even sell online! I've seen some of on depop
