Coat Cull!
One of the challenges of living in a place where 'stuff' is so easily to acquire and cheap is that before you realize it you closets are full. One solution is the random cull. Pick an item, like coats, and go through all of them. Try them on for size, look at the coats on in a mirror, empty the pockets of each coat, then decide - stay or go.
So where do the coats go? Well in Calgary, in the month of December the coats can go to the Drop-in centre. The best part is that the coats are access at the Drop-in Centre for how well each item will meet the needs of the people the Drop-in Centre represents, and the coats that are not good enough to reuse will be recycled and that the Drop-in Center gets a dollar value for the coats that are recycled.
The ultimate Win-Win-Win-Win (out of your house-not in a landfill-used by someone else-or possible cash for a charity).
