Here in the Netherlands many neighbourhoods have containers for textiles. You can put in any clothes or things like bed linen as long as it is dry and clean and not completely worn. These are picked up, cleaned and mended where necessary, and then, dependent on the area, sold or given away for free to whom need it. It does not pay well and is volunteer work. Edit: there is even a charity that comes and pick up stuff. They are really picky though. A whole perfect couch with just a small stain won’t be accepted because they can’t sell it as is. And they don’t want to risk being stuck with it or unable to clean.
