Critics about public containers for used clothes:

︎︎︎Unsustainable transportation:
Often, used clothes containers are shipped long distances, which can increase their carbon footprint and contribute to environmental issues.

︎︎︎Displacement of local textile industries:
The influx of used clothing from overseas can make it difficult for local textile industries to compete, potentially causing job losses.



︎︎︎Lack of transparency:
It can be difficult to know what happens to the clothes once they are donated. Some organizations may sell them for profit instead of distributing them to those in need.

︎︎︎Harmful effects on local markets:
The donation of large amounts of used clothing to developing countries can have a negative impact on local markets by undercutting local producers and disrupting the local textile industry.
