It's much cheaper and it helps the environment to buy second-hand. Here's some great reasons to make you consider hitting that charity shop more often:
Most of your worn out and unwanted old textiles can be recycling into something completely new - things like blankets, car seats and padding for chairs.
Please don't throw clothes in your household rubbish bin, instead you can take them to a local textile bank available at local recycling sites in Hertsmere or many supermarkets/car parks.
