I take underwear out of landfills when i can

I take underwear out of the landfill (only boys briefs underwear because that's what i wear) because i can't stand it when people throw out old outgrown underwear, especially when they're in good condition. Some of the ones I've taken have some holes but I don't mind and still wear them.

    I am guessing this poster did not ride the long bus.

    It's called recycling, they're always telling you to do it up until it means people might stop buying new things. Rock on dawg.

    As is clear from the other comments - and as I'm sure you knew before posting your question - this is an unusual thing for people to do in wealthier countries.

    But the aversion isn't rational. You're wearing clothing that others have previously owned, that's all. I wonder how many people who feel a gut-level squick reaction to what you do would only think they'd got a huge bargain if they paid $20 in a second-hand shop for a jacket or trousers that cost $2,000 new and showed no signs of wear.

    Cloth is not permanently contaminated and infested with pathogens when it comes into contact with someone's genitals or butt. Once you give the underwear a high-temperature wash and dryer cycle, you can be sure there's very little chance that anything related to the previous owner remains in the cloth.

    That's really disgusting wearing someone else under wear those are dirty acts. Not to judge or anything just to point out how I feel.

    I just threw out a pair that had a hole in them. Maybe you should go to the landfill and get them.

    You could probably sell those on eBay, there's a market for good landfill underwear.

    Where are you living that you have a landfill nearby that is often topped up with a supply of ratty boys underwear?

  • It's cool that you are making use out of wasted things, because other people, like me, sure as hell don't have the wherewithal to do THAT.

    As long as you clean them up really well, there shouldn't be any problem.
