How to dispose of textiles.

Clothes and other textiles in a textile container in a recycling centre.

Do not dispose of textiles or shoes at home. Take this waste to your local Recycling Centre (RC).

  • Which RC container

    Use the textiles bank.

    Ensure items are clean, dry and bagged.

  • Which RC accept this waste

    All our Recycling Centres accept textiles and shoes.

  • Further information

    Clothes, shoes and other textiles that still have some life left in them will be sorted and sent for reuse. 

  • You could also...

    • sell your items
    • donate them to a charity shop, if they're in good condition (some charity shops will also accept worn textiles, shoes or bags as 'rag')
    • donate your items to local craft groups for projects such as quilting
