Each Spanish gets rid of seven kilos of clothes a year.A lot of garments that generate business, sometimes legal but sometimes not so much.There are 'pirate' clothing containers and many families live on it.They distribute metallic mailboxes with solidarity messages of clothing collection through the cities posing as NGOs and then selling them in markets.They are 'pirates' containers.

Costin is a second -hand pirate.This 47 -year -old man sails every Friday with his white van through the streets of the Madrid neighborhood of Chamberí collecting the clothes of the four containers without a license that he has strategically distributed in the capital.At six in the morning he arrives at the church of San Juan Crisóstomo.Behind her, he has camouflaged among trees one of his containers.He leaves the pure who is smoking on the metallic mailbox, opens it and takes several bags.Sweatshirts, pants and a Massimo Dutti shirt in good condition are his acquisitions.He takes advantage of the good faith of the parishioners who go to Mass daily and believe that the clothes container that is next to his parish will stop the most needy of Africa."Whoever wants to donate a garment has to leave it in the church and, with the help of Caritas, we send it to the people who need them. That container has nothing to do with us," says the pastor.

But Costin is justified by saying that he is also a needy."Thanks to this we have to eat, my wife and my two children," he explains.He takes the garments to a small warehouse that he has with two other pirates on the outskirts of Madrid."Then I sell them at the Mercadillo de Vallecas and in El Rastro. I can get between 10 and 20 euros for each container."

As a sewer, many people live on the collection of clothing.Through these large metal cubes, they are passed through charity organizations that use garments to help the most needy.Phrases that incite the pedestrian to recycle as 'development cooperation' or 'help us to help'.The one that moves the most.Because it is true that the crisis has created a more supportive society.According to the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) each Spaniard is undone of seven kilos of clothes, which is a total of 160 million a year.It is a sweet product with which 360 euros can be earned for each ton, 3,500 euros per year for each container.Ten used clothing mailboxes give to live 15 people.

Every Wednesday, Juana installs a clothing post at the Santa Ana market, in the Madrid neighborhood of Fuencarral.She sells from socks to jerseys for one and two euros.She initially says that the garments are given by the neighborhood neighbors.Her husband and her son take boxes of troubled clothing from a green van that are parked in front of the kiosk.They recognize that they have several containers in Madrid, but that they do not try to deceive people."We leave the mailboxes so that people take clothes. If they think it is for something else it is not our problem," says Juana's son.

The Madrid City Council has retired 6,000 containers without a license in the last five years, spending more than 100,000 euros.According to the OCU, one in three are illegal.And the ingenuity of these pirates of the clothing has no paragon.Some disguise municipal operators to go unnoticed and be able to place their illegal containers.They even use a tuning van with the colors and municipal logos with the Environment Anagram.

The legal network of this type of collection has 16 fixed points in Madrid.To do this, a contract with the human NGO has been signed, the only association that is authorized to put them on public roads.

"The problem is that we have to re -educate society. People do not know what containers are the legal ones and which ones are not. And as much as we retire the illegal and mulote to those who profit from it, it does not work. The sanctionsThey are 1,500 euros, but, even so, they are compensated to pay the fine and continue to put metallic mailboxes through the streets, "they say in the Madrid City Council.

In Zaragoza, Raúl Ariza, representative of IU in the Public Services Commission, alerts the rise of a fraudulent network of collection of used clothing: "They enter into the neighborhood communities and ask the president to permission to put a box on the portal forRecycle clothes for solidarity purposes. Obviously they believe it and give them permission. So much legal. The problem is that clothes are going to markets and the benefit is for individuals. "

In Vigo, it is usual to see in the portals of the cardboard containers housing in which used clothes and footwear are requested.In the boxes you can read a clear message and a phone number: "Help us to recycle and take care of the planet."The collection is made every three days by a company called Reyretex.A company spokesman says at first that clothing is delivered to Cáritas, but this entity denies it.So, in a second call, in Reyretex they ensure that the garments goes to a solidarity market in Pamplona.

"Do not leave your clothes used in any container. We help you not to be wrong pointing out what are the legal clothing containers in your city," warn many websites of Spanish municipalities.They want to end the illegal mailboxes.And thus put an end to the pirates of the used clothing disguised from NGOs.

The sale of second -hand clothes has grown considerably in Spain.A new market has opened that saw thousands of families who want to save a few euros in filling their closet and also earn some money emptying it.Percentil, a company for the purchase and sale of used clothing, sells 1,500 garments every day at 85% discount of its original price.It is the fashion of textile recycling.

Esther and his three -year -old children wear second -hand clothes.Three brand sport pants have arrived at her house for the same price for the same price that one would cost them in a conventional store.Mario is a medical student and goes to class with Lacoste shirts for which he paid 14 euros.Sandra and Carlos, both unemployment engineers, have spent 17 euros on two jackets, two jerseys and two hats.Years ago, buying used clothes in Spain was seen as a sign of poverty, but perception has changed.Second -hand clothes are fashionable.Whether because of the crisis or the boom of everything that smells like alternative, more and more people use this type of stores to buy a complete costume at reasonable prices.According to data from the second hand portal, it is estimated that in Spain the sale of used objects moves 2.3 billion euros per year.

When Daniel Bezares was the father of two twins, he thought that baby clothes in conventional stores was excessively expensive for the little time to be used.He then decided to buy second -hand clothes.He realized that many people thought like him and ended up riding a 'online' company for the purchase and sale of children and women used at a good price.He started working from home, with an initial investment of 20,000 euros.Two years later, he has an office and two warehouses in Las Rozas (Madrid) and invoice per month more than 200,000 euros.The company's name is a percentile and sells 1,500 garments every day in more than 200 orders throughout Spain."We apply an 85% discount of its original price. We pay the saleswoman for 20% of the price we later put. We send a messenger to collect the clothes, we bring it to the warehouse and process it. A 40% of the one that comes to us does not meet the minimum quality requirements, "says Daniel.

Percentil also sells in France and Germany."More than 20,000 families wear our clothes. Even a town in Andalusia of 600 inhabitants have made 30 orders," says Daniel, who jokes saying that he has become a Spanish Mark Zuckerberg to La Española thanks to the crisis."The truth is that the country's bad economic situation has helped us a lot. Mainly, because people do not have money to buy a lotThe complex to buy second -hand clothes is changing. We are creating a new market in which it is well seen to acquire used clothes, "he says.

María José and her five -year -old daughter are two usual clients of percentile.María José was detected four years ago a collagenosis disease and she went from a size 38 to a 44. She had to renew her closet."I discovered online percentile and I was able to sell a lot of the clothes she had practically new," says the woman, who has taken 300 euros selling her clothing.But also buy.To her house from Seville of her every month a used clothing box arrives every month."My little girl bought all the clothes of the school. I save a lot of money. Sometimes I get dresses that are even with the label on," she says.Like her, many consumers have seen a huge attraction in this activity.

The human NGO has deployed 5,000 green containers throughout Spain.It is the only one that can put them on public roads paying 50 euros to the municipalities for each ton it collects.Then he takes the clothes to his stores (12 of them in Madrid and Barcelona), where he sells them.It has 800,000 clients in Spain and is present in 35 countries.Being a foundation, pay less taxes, even if it performs a millionaire billing.The multinational stays 85% of what he earns with the clothes we throw to the containers.And this has led him to receive many criticism.

In Second Baby sell 'On Line' only baby clothes."They are practically new garments, without spots or signs of wear. Because children grow so quickly, many parents do not give time to release everything and some garments are left with the label in the closet," they say from the store.

This fashion has also reached the wedding dresses.Jesús Martín founded Weddalia two years ago, a portal specialized in the purchase and sale of the wedding suit."My wife kept her wedding dress and we were sad that something that was new stayed in the closet. We had the idea of selling it. We started looking and we saw that there was no second -hand store specialized in it."His company has grown 45% last year and already have customers in Mexico, Chile, Argentina and France.His website has 8,000 users who upload their ads paying nine euros for the company."They can save up to 60% of the price that costs you a normal dress, which is around 2,000 euros."

The business is growing, but it is difficultActually, most are from individuals who then sell what they get in markets. Against that we cannot do, "he says referring to the other face of this great second -hand clothing business.
