I have a lot of tshirts from companies I used to work for, but I don't wear them anymore. I was going to give them away, but I'm worried random people wearing work uniforms might cause problems down the line. Some are construction companies, which I'm not too worried about, but the retail shirts are my concern. Is there a way to remove the text on them so they're just regular solid colored shirts? I want to say the logos are screenprinted but I don't think they were, and I can't remember the name of any other printing processes that aren't just stitching them in.

Just bin em. Go into any charity shop and you'll see that there's no shortage of donated tees. The carbon footprint involves in removing the logos is more than it would save if someone were to wear them

Or cut them up and use them as shop towels or whatever before you toss them. At least get a bit more out of them before they contribute to the landfill.

Most of those shirts in my experience are some poly blend. If they're 100% cotton, they'd be good towels though

A lot of companies will actually have a policy about this, probably to return them

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
