There is no better time for some spring cleani ng! Decluttering your home of unwanted items\, thoroughly cleaning room to room\, wiping the dirt off every nook and cranny you can find – these a re all a part of the exciting (and sometimes tedious) spring cleaning rout ine. To help you get started\, we’ve compiled a list of tips on where to donate or recycle items you no longer need and DIY recipes for your home cleaning needs. Cleaning Out Your ClosetDonating your clothes to non-profi t organizations will ensure you’re donating to a good cause and helping those in need. San Diego Rescue Mission San Diego Rescue Mission accepts clothing and shoes that are fairly new or gently used. They take into acc ount the wishes of the donor and your requests on how the items you donate will be used. Most of their donations are given to students and guests at the San Diego Rescue Mission according to their needs. Father Joe’sFath er Joe’s accepts clothing and shoes that are clean and gently used and r esells them at their thrift stores. The money collected from reselling the donations goes directly towards helping the homeless population in San Di ego. Many mail-in programs exist for clothing and shoe donations\, where m ost items are sent to developing countries for people who are poverty stri cken and are in need of clothes.  Soles4SoulsSoles4Souls is a free mail-i n program which aims to turn unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity\ , creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty. Shoes are distributed to people in need and are also used to help people launch and sustain their own small businesses selling donated shoes and clothing . Retold RecyclingRetold Recycling is a mail-in program that accepts dama ged or very worn-out clothes and textiles (blankets\, towels\, bed linens\ , etc.) for recycling. Whether it’s just one sock or a full bag of cloth ing\, Retold makes sure none of it ends up in the landfill. The items are sorted by type and quality and are then sent to thrift stores\, charities\ , upcyclers\, recycling companies\, and developing countries to support mi cro-economies. USAgain Drop Off BinsUSAgain accepts clothing and shoes tha t are in reusable condition. Items in fairly good condition are given to p eople who don’t have the option to buy new clothes\, allowing them to co nserve funds for other basic necessities such as food\, shelter\, and educ ation. Some are sold to small shop owners or second-hand stores who are in need of products to make ends meet. Items that are battered\, such as fab ric scraps\, are either reused as wiping rags or shredded to insulation ma terial for appliances and vehicles. Many clothing brands have a take-back program. If you bring back a used item\, you could get a discount to purch ase a new item. MadewellMadewell has a Do-Well recycling program in place where they offer free repairs in stores for patching\, mending\, and other fixes. Used jeans are also available for purchase at their stores. If you have fallen out of love with your jeans\, you can turn them in at Madewel l\, which then turns those old bootcuts into housing insulation for commun ities in need. Patagonia Patagonia has a Worn Wear program where you are able to trade in or mail in used Patagonia garments that are still in goo d condition in exchange for store credit. They also offer a used clothing section as well as repair services in order to expand the lifespan of clot hing and keep them out of the landfills. North FaceNorth Face accepts used apparel and footwear in any condition and brand at their stores and rewar ds $10 towards your next purchase when you sign up for their XPLR Pass.

There is no better time for some spring cleani ng! Decluttering your home of unwanted items\, thoroughly cleaning room to room\, wiping the dirt off every nook and cranny you can find – these a re all a part of the exciting (and sometimes tedious) spring cleaning rout ine. To help you get started\, we’ve compiled a list of tips on where to donate or recycle items you no longer need and DIY recipes for your home cleaning needs. Cleaning Out Your ClosetDonating your clothes to non-profi t organizations will ensure you’re donating to a good cause and helping those in need. San Diego Rescue Mission San Diego Rescue Mission accepts clothing and shoes that are fairly new or gently used. They take into acc ount the wishes of the donor and your requests on how the items you donate will be used. Most of their donations are given to students and guests at the San Diego Rescue Mission according to their needs. Father Joe’sFath er Joe’s accepts clothing and shoes that are clean and gently used and r esells them at their thrift stores. The money collected from reselling the donations goes directly towards helping the homeless population in San Di ego. Many mail-in programs exist for clothing and shoe donations\, where m ost items are sent to developing countries for people who are poverty stri cken and are in need of clothes.  Soles4SoulsSoles4Souls is a free mail-i n program which aims to turn unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity\ , creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty. Shoes are distributed to people in need and are also used to help people launch and sustain their own small businesses selling donated shoes and clothing . Retold RecyclingRetold Recycling is a mail-in program that accepts dama ged or very worn-out clothes and textiles (blankets\, towels\, bed linens\ , etc.) for recycling. Whether it’s just one sock or a full bag of cloth ing\, Retold makes sure none of it ends up in the landfill. The items are sorted by type and quality and are then sent to thrift stores\, charities\ , upcyclers\, recycling companies\, and developing countries to support mi cro-economies. USAgain Drop Off BinsUSAgain accepts clothing and shoes tha t are in reusable condition. Items in fairly good condition are given to p eople who don’t have the option to buy new clothes\, allowing them to co nserve funds for other basic necessities such as food\, shelter\, and educ ation. Some are sold to small shop owners or second-hand stores who are in need of products to make ends meet. Items that are battered\, such as fab ric scraps\, are either reused as wiping rags or shredded to insulation ma terial for appliances and vehicles. Many clothing brands have a take-back program. If you bring back a used item\, you could get a discount to purch ase a new item. MadewellMadewell has a Do-Well recycling program in place where they offer free repairs in stores for patching\, mending\, and other fixes. Used jeans are also available for purchase at their stores. If you have fallen out of love with your jeans\, you can turn them in at Madewel l\, which then turns those old bootcuts into housing insulation for commun ities in need. Patagonia Patagonia has a Worn Wear program where you are able to trade in or mail in used Patagonia garments that are still in goo d condition in exchange for store credit. They also offer a used clothing section as well as repair services in order to expand the lifespan of clot hing and keep them out of the landfills. North FaceNorth Face accepts used apparel and footwear in any condition and brand at their stores and rewar ds $10 towards your next purchase when you sign up for their XPLR Pass. Ap proved items are then washed\, prepped and sold through the North Face Ren ewed program\, donated\, or recycled. First time users get a 10% discount on purchases too!
