Textiles and Clothing

Donated/Reused or Recycled via:
 

  • Your Textiles and Clothes are then taken to a reprocessing facility where they are sorted into clothing and textile types.  Clothes and textiles that can be reused are then sold back to companies in the UK, Europe, Asia and Africa.
  • Items that aren’t suitable to be passed on will instead be recycled and made into new items, such as padding for chairs and car seats, cleaning cloths and industrial blankets.

Did you know? 

  • In the UK around 336,000 tonnes of our unwanted clothing gets thrown away every year.
