The average American throws away an estimated 68 pounds of clothing and textiles each year. An estimated 99% of all clothing and fabric thrown out in the United States is eligible to be recycled or reused. Research shows that an estimated 70% of Americans donate to charity at least once annually. In the United States, total giving to charitable organizations amounted to an estimated $316.23 billion in 2012. Donating used clothing decreases pollution and landfill waste.
