It may be a good idea, if your clothes are stained, dirty, or otherwise unwearable, to upcycle them. You could turn them into rags, dusters or other useful household items.
You can also repurpose a garment to make a craft project out of it. You can make a quilt using an old tee-shirt.
Donate them to an organization that will distribute them. These organizations can be a great place to find new homes for clothes that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Consider also looking into large-brand clothing recycling schemes. These programs often offer a payment for your clothing. But, you need to ensure that these programs are responsible for the clothes they recycle.
Junk
You may be tempted to throw junk straight in the trash, but there are several ways you can avoid that. You can reuse, recycle, donate, and sell your unused clothes.
Fallout Shelter has a lot of junk. You can use it to make equipment pieces. It can also be used to expand your dweller number and help you maximize your storage space.
