Cardiff residents donated clothes during Love Your Clothes campaign in October, to reduce the amount going to landfill.<\/h2>\n

The campaign was run by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a charity that aims to change the way that people use clothes. Recycling rather than discarding old clothes is one of their main aims. Jamie Perry, of Love your Clothes, said \u201cEvery year, 350,000 tons of clothes go to landfill\u2026 this doesn\u2019t need to be the case.\u201d
\nLove your Clothes held a campaign week in October, in which people were encouraged to donate their own clothes. The centre piece of this was The Swap Shop, which\u00a0was an initiative that allowed people to pay \u00a31, donate what they please, and take what they please. The overall aim of the campaign\u00a0to avoid clothes going to landfill when they can be used by others.<\/p>\n

The campaign has had huge success elsewhere in Wales. Two tons of clothes were collected in Bangor earlier in 2016, and the Cardiff target was to reach five tons.
\nPlenty of local businesses helped with the campaign, such as the YMCA giving space for The Swap Shop to take place, and the staff at Halifax bank donated their own clothes.<\/p>\n

The Campaign was carried out in conjunction with Cardiff Fashion Week, which went on from the 24th<\/sup> to the 29th<\/sup> of October.
\nFree workshops were also put in place to show people how to \u201cupcycle\u201d their old clothes. This involves using old, or damaged clothes, and turning them into something new, like cushions or other clothing.
