Spring in the air

abendgulesToday is the sunniest of a run of mild and springlike days we've had this week. That, and the time change, mean my days have felt noticeably birghter and more pleasant.
After 2 months of relative inactivity, I'm hoping for a bit of spring cleaning. Thanks to my tricksy and stubborn chest pain from the cough, I still have to lift and carry and pull things carefully, so vacuuming is pursued only with care.
Inspired bypurple_peril, I'm also hoping for some pre-emptive strike decluttering: sorting books, clothes and maybe even Piles of Important Paper - though that last bit might just be crazy talk.
Clearing the kitchen table so I can use the sewing machine is always a useful incentive. I have hopes of assembling the back panel of the patchwork quilt from linen scraps, to push along that project. It's been stalled while I've been sick, so I thought I'd tackle it from another angle.
Does anyone have suggestions for useful, responsible disposal of clothes that are beyond charity use?
I'm thinking of undies, and SCA t-shirts that I'm not happy passing on. They're collecting faster than I realized. I just don't need that many dusters and rags.
Besides, keeping dusters would suggest that I dust, and that's just plain misleading :-).
