@abcnewsaus: How many clothes do you buy? Aussies buy an average of 56 items a year, but 200,000 tonnes are winding up in landfill annually. And while we're giving about the same amount to op shops, very little is being recycled.

So can we put old clothes in the curb side recycling bin or is that a specific program?

4 cent ? That won’t stop it. 4 cent is is nothing it’s a joke. It’s like filling your trophy up at coles and getting 4 cents off

You can thank vinnies and other op shops they charge so much that it’s cheaper to shop at Kmart op shops have no room

It’s not consumers as much as it’s the factories pumping out new seasons and not being able to sell it all

I really don't believe people have any idea how much clothing contributes to global waste. It's really bad!

Rather then levy or tax maybe just fine companies based on their inventory overruns

all I heard was that guy said the company makes them shred the clothes with no chance of reselling. the labels are at fault but we pay the price 😳😳

It’s so annoying because there was a massive “stop shopping fast fashion” and then influencers just didn’t stop because quick new fits for promo

This is bad enough but don’t even get me started on the amount of unnecessary plastic packaging it comes in when it’s new!!! Been in retail for 8yrs

All the lefties think taxes are the solution. less taxes, less government is better for everyone.

It’s because no company makes quality clothes that last. They make throw away items so it’s the fashion industry that is causing clothing waste

I’ve worked hard to transition away from polyester fabric garments. I use my old clothes as rags and then I compost my cotton rags when they’re old.

a tax on fashion just gets once again pushed back onto the consumer. as if the cost if living isn't already exorbitant
