MOST people choose to recycle, reuse or sell unwanted goods – from clothes to mobile phones – rather than throw them away, an Ipsos MORI survey of over 1,000 people suggests.

Ninety-four per cent do not usually throw clothes away, with almost two-thirds (61 per cent) donating unwanted garments to charity and 12 per cent recycling them.
