Hopefully this puts things into perspective for people who complain about op shops throwing away clothing.

Every year the world produces 100 billion articles of clothing for an approx population of 8 billion. 15 - 45 billion items are never sold and are dumped by stores. Of the items that do sell 3 out of 5 items are discarded within the first year by consumers.
As opshops are pretty much the last line before these items hit landfill, you can hopefully understand why opshops have to picky about what they are putting out for sale, there is just too much. Also within an op shop there is only so much space to store/display items and most are receiving donations daily.

Most people do a clean out of excess stuff at least once a year but they really need to think about what they are donating and if it's actually fit for reselling.

Thank you to all the op shops out there that have to deal with this excessive amount of clothing let alone the multiple other items you receive daily.
