Is recycling old clothes a charity or a business?

Recycling old clothes is a public welfare undertaking.

After recycling old clothes, charitable organizations will sort, wash, expose to the sun and disinfect more than 80% of new clothes that are eligible for donation, and then package and donate them; Clothes that do not meet the donation conditions will be directly recycled as waste materials and made into mops, work gloves, protective blankets for furniture, moisturizing geotextiles used in construction sites, etc. The funds raised will be used for charitable organizations to carry out public welfare activities.

With the increasing number of units and individuals recycling used clothes, some "recycling companies" of unknown origin also put all kinds of recycling boxes for used clothes in the community in the name of charity, which not only destroyed the appearance of the city, but also interfered with the normal development of charitable activities.

For fake charitable organizations and charitable organizations that have not obtained public fundraising qualifications, it is a profit-making activity to set up a "waste clothes donation box" in the name of public welfare, charity and love. Measures such as interviews and dissuasion will be taken to order them to stop their activities. If they refuse to change their mind, they will work with other law enforcement agencies to clean up illegal old clothes recycling bins.
