A "TRASH parent" has revealed her unique way of storing her son's clothes.
Menzi regularly takes to TikTok to share the ways she recycles old trash, and has posted a new video showing her son's bedroom set up.
"My kid doesn't have a closet or a dresser, I will show you what he has instead," Mindy began.
She then turned the camera to show a water play table that she'd picked up from a garage sale, but which leaks water.
So, instead, she uses the table to store her son's socks and underwear.
For hanging clothes, he has an old rail that was Menzi's "when I lived in a garage with a tarp wall for privacy and no running water".
"I like to keep it really low so that he can just pick out his own clothes," she said, before adding: "His clothes, by the way, are 99% thrifted."
When people noted that the water table and rail were kept in the living room, Menzi commented: "I don’t keep these in his room because of safety.

"You're doing a great job! you're creative, thoughtful, careful with money, and respectful of our environment! great job!!" a third person added.
Someone else admitted they were "so confused" by Menzi calling herself a trash parent, asking "you take other people's 'trash' by thrifting?"
"Or reusing something of your own that could easily be considered trash/crappy-like a water table that can’t hold water," Menzi replied.
