High quality second hand clothing can be sold for re-use through charities either in the UK or abroad. Second hand clothing is always required by charities overseas for use in emergencies such as earthquakes or other disasters. Medium grade textiles can be used for industry cleaning cloth and rags. Low grade textiles are used to produce filling and flocking for the furniture industry.
75% of thrown away clothes could be re-cycled.
Textile banks accept:
- clean, dry items (place in a bag to keep dry)
- all clothing
- accessories such as hats, handbags and belts
- blankets, curtains, towels & bed linen
- shoes (tie them together)
*Don’t forget your used cooking oil can be re-cycled. There is a container in Budgeon’s car park.
