Over 30 years, Catherine Stallman has rehomed hundreds of shirts, sunnies and hats that may have ended up in landfill.
Catherine Stallman couldn't stand the sight of abandoned clothing strewn across Sydney's beaches after a warm weekend, so she decided to do something about it.She began collecting the towels and clothes, washing them, sorting them, and donating them to charities.
Ms Stallman washes usable garments and towels then donates them to Wayside Chapel, a charity based in Bondi and Kings Cross where she also volunteers."The thought of it going into the rubbish bin into landfill, when it was very good-quality clothing." Wayside Chapel chief executive and pastor Jon Owen says it's worrying to see the amount of clothing and towels abandoned on the beach after a busy day.
