2- Clothes and old shoes
Used shoes or clothes are usually discarded. However, there are several organizations that take back the materials that make up these articles. They are sorted and reshared in thrift stores. They are also used to make other tools such as rags, upholstery materials, etc. In addition, these clothes and old shoes are reshared to ecodesigners or sent to developing countries.

Carpets are accessories made from plastic fibers and therefore, can be recycled. If you want to get rid of your old accessory, look for an old carpet recycling company. They exist everywhere and they take care of taking back these items in order to reuse them.
4- Bicycles and vehicles
When buying a new bike, do not have the reflex to get rid of the old one by throwing it in the garbage. Instead, entrust this old bicycle to a recycling structure.
