Recycling centers
Where can I recycle or donate old clothes and textiles?
Use a textile collection point, charity or reuse route for wearable items, and a textile-recycling route for damaged textiles where one exists.
Complete answer
The answer
Separate clean, reusable clothing from torn or worn-out textiles if the local system distinguishes them. Wet, mouldy or heavily contaminated textiles may not be suitable for reuse or fibre recycling.
Collection bins can have specific rules for shoes, bags, bedding and household textiles. Read the label on the container or check the operator instructions rather than leaving bags beside a full collection point.
What to do
- Keep reusable items clean and dry.
- Check whether shoes and household textiles are accepted.
- Do not leave material beside a full or closed collection point.
