ARGO > What's new > Do you have clothes you no longer wear?
Do you have clothes you no longer wear that others can benefit from instead? At all our recycling centres you can drop off your used clothes for reuse in our new green clothing containers.
Here's how you do it:
Pack your used clothes in a tight plastic bag
Tie the bag with a knot
Put the bag in the green bin at the recycling centre
If you are unsure about anything, you can always ask us at the recycling centre.
What happens to your clothes
When the container is full, we empty it and sort the clothes. We sell the majority of the clothes in our second-hand shops, Gensalg , for DKK 15 each. Clothing is what we sell the most of in our stores. In 2024, we sold 83,246 pieces of clothing in our three Gensalg stores.
We donate some of the clothes to good causes through some of our many collections for humanitarian organizations. In 2024, we have completed 54 collections for charitable organizations. Among other things, we have collected for Men's Home, homeless people and psychiatry. Gensalg has also offered Christmas help to families in need.
Buy second-hand instead of new
Do you need new clothes in return for what you've given away? And if you want to do something good for the climate - and your own finances - buy second-hand next time you need to replace a piece of clothing.
