thrifting expands the lifespan of clothes and keeps them out of the landfill!
What happens to the items that are not sold?
UNFORTUNATELY,due to the nature of some donations and for the saftely of our team and guest not everything can be reslayed at closet case. However, we reslay these donation by recycling these textiles!
The fact of the matter is…….
Recycling does reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. In 2014, the 89 million tons of municipal solid waste, like paper, plastic, and textiles recycled provided an annual reduction of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions comparable to removing over 38 million passenger cars from the roads for one year.
Ever wondered where your old and used clothing goes after it's thrown into a donation bin? Turns out there are entire industries that rely on the recycling and resale of your old garments. The demand for such businesses is becoming increasingly more important as"fast fashion" trends continue to drive annual clothing purchases - up nearly 400 per cent worldwide over the last two decades.

Knowing that proceeds from Closet Case Thrift support WAF's programs motivates me to shop there. It's fulfilling to contribute to initiatives that uplift LGBTQ+ youth.
