Many apartment buildings in NYC are now putting a clothing recycling bin somewhere in the lobby. This is a really easy way to get rid of clothes after you've cleaned out your closet. However, if you bring your clothing to goodwill, salvation army, housing works, etc and donate it you can write off the donation come April 15th (as long as you get a receipt).
Another option is to sell items on ebay or bring things to a consignment store. I would suggest doing this with items that have never been worn (and still have the store tag) or very expensive, high end, designer pieces.
I am compiling a list of websites and locations of consignment shops (sometimes it is best to go to consignment shops outside Manhattan, depending on what you have to sell), I will post this list when I think it is complete. I am sure it will be helpful for me to reference at some point in the future...
