Craft materials

If you have leftover craft materials in good condition, they could be sold online, taken to a charity shop or given away on Freecycle (opens in a new window) or Freegle (opens in a new window).

If the materials are not reusable, paper and card can be recycled, as long as they are not shiny and don't bounce back when scrunched. Textiles and fabric can be taken to a textiles recycling bank (opens in a new window). Shiny or plastic materials should go in your rubbish bin.
