Bins, waste and recycling
You can recycle your unwanted clothes and home textiles as part of your weekly bin collections.

Clean clothes, rags, shoes and home textiles can simply be placed into a small clean bag, tied at the top, and placed next to your rubbish or recycling bin each week. Recycling your clothes and textiles is better for the planet and saves money!
Please do not put your items in a black bin bag or inside your bins.
If your items are in good condition they may be reused. Otherwise, they will be recycled or repurposed by being made into stuffing or loft insulation.
