Secondhand clothes are finding fewer takers these days

Charity groups often have to dispose of threadbare garments

SHANGHAI - Huang Hao, a customer of Uniqlo, was happy that the Japanese clothing warehouse will again accept clothing donations from consumers and take them to a charity. But she is having second thoughts.

"Only the newest looking clothes will be taken, but the ones we'll donate may not be in such good condition," said Huang, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.
