Clothes that my children have outgrown I sell online. If an item is in good shape and isn't sold I donate it to Value Village.
However there are times that my kids have completely ruined their clothes either by stains or holes.
I collect the clothes that are ruined in the basement in a Rubbermaid container. Every now and then I take them and cut them into rags and put them in a large bag. We use the rags for cleaning or out and around the property for clean ups. We wash them whenever possible. We keep a bag of rags on top of the washing machine, one in the linen closet and many in the basement.
I have even sold them in a grocery sized bag for $5 online. My paper towel usage has gone down plenty. More money in my pocket... These loonies add up quickly.
