How to dispose of textiles.

    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. Old and well-worn clothing will be recycled by shredding and used in the ‘flocking’ industry as car seat filler.

    • sell your items, or donate them to a charity shop, if they're in good condition.
