I donated things to every thrift store in my small town (we only have 1500 people in my town so it didn't take long!) I found boxes of stuff in the garage that hadn't even been opened since we moved here five years ago, so I threw caution to the wind and threw it out without looking in it. I felt very brave doing that!
My husband (the current one!) is from Ghana in West Africa, so I when it came to my clothing, I bundled boxes and boxes of it up and sent it over to his family. They were absolutely delighted with it. It certainly didn't go to waste which made me very happy. Even my sister joined in with recycling her clothes to Ghana!

I'm feeling that I need to do the same thing - declutter. I have clothes that I need to get rid of! Not that I have a lot, but a couple items I can think of have barely been worn that were purchased on clearance many years ago. Instead of donating to a thirft store, I put items do donate on freecycler - then when I'm looking for items, hopefully someone will have what I'm looking for too.
