Final answer:

To move the subordinate clause to the beginnings of the provided sentences, you can revise the sentences so that any dependent clause or phrase precedes the main clause. This often involves identifying potential subordinating conjunctions and restructuring the sentence to lead with these elements, while ensuring the sentences remain clear and concise.

Step-by-step explanation:

To move the subordinate clause to the beginning of the sentences provided, you must identify which parts of the sentences are dependent clauses. In some cases, the sentences may not contain a clear subordinate clause that can be moved to the beginning, but I will provide possible revisions for each sentence using common subordinating conjunctions where applicable:

  1. Not wanting it to be a terrible waste, it is essential to pass your unwanted clothing on to a charity.
  2. Located in your local high street, most charities have shops.
  3. Being really easy, taking your discarded clothes to be recycled should not be a hassle.
  4. Posting collection bags and making door to door collections for unwanted items, charities often help in this manner.
  5. Needing to be watched out for, the unscrupulous businesses make collections and keep any profits for themselves.

Note that these revisions are intended to demonstrate moving the subordinate elements to the beginning of the sentence, which sometimes leads to slightly awkward or less clear constructions. In practice, it is essential to maintain clarity and coherence when restructuring sentences.
