Total clothing container overcrowded: Where is the used clothing?

Total clothing container overcrowded: Where is the used clothing?

Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis, Deutschland - overcrowded old clothing containers are an everyday sight in the Ennepe-Ruhr district-a real annoyance! But what is really behind this problem? The authorities have the answer: a dramatically sunken need for used clothing means that the bearings overflow and the containers burst. The situation is so tense that there is no space for new old clothes!

Those responsible in the circle have an eye on the situation and work hard to prevent the overcrowding. They urge to warn: If a container is full, the old clothes must not simply be put off. This means that the valuable clothing remains unused and the recovery is at risk. A call to everyone: Find out about the actual need at the DRK departments before you give up your donations!

The background of the crisis

The problems with the old clothing containers are not only a local phenomenon, but also reflect a larger trend. The decline in the interest of second-hand clothing has a direct impact on the disposal options. The containers source and the willingness to donate remains unused. A clear appeal to the citizens: consider well where you will bring your old clothes so as not to tighten the situation!
