Q: Dear 100 Hour Board,
I have a lot of clothes that I don't want to keep anymore. They're not quite in good enough shape to give to DI (jeans with a broken zipper, shirts with small stains) but the fabric is in good enough condition that I don't feel like I can throw them away, because someone could still use it for something. I know there'sa bunch of sites that have cool ideas for repurposing clothing, but I don't have a working sewing machine.
Is there a place I can donate these clothes to other people who will repurpose them? Or do you have any other ideas for them?

Dear I hope you're not still wearing it,
There are several things you can do. Personally, I would just throw them away. Or compost them (unless they have rayon or polyester). The world has too much old clothing floating around. However, you can also find a Planet Aid bin near you (or another such service) to donate your clothes. According to this article, there are a bunch of neat things that they do with unusable clothes.
