Abstract

How consumers dispose of apparel is receiving increasing attention. In an effort to reduce textile waste ending up in landfills, this research addresses how consumers currently dispose of unwanted apparel. Understanding attitudes and perceptions associated with disposal of textiles may provide insight on how to raise awareness regarding other options available (Hawley, 2009).
