Textiles
Guidance
textiles, clothes, sheets, fabric, curtains, bed linen, rags
Textiles in good condition could be sold online, given away to or donated to charity. Find a textiles bank near you on the search function below or on the Recycle Now website (opens in a new window).
If you take unwanted textiles to an on-street collection bank, please be careful not to over-fill, or block the openings; consider separating items into smaller bags, or take larger items/collections to the charity shop.
Problems with textiles recycling at recycling centres
Due to challenges in our supply chain, we're currently struggling to provide our usual textile recycling service at our reuse and recycling centres (RRCs). EcoPark and Hornsey Street RRC will remain open to textiles, but we can't guarantee that textiles bins at our other RRCs will remain open and available.
We hope to offer a full service again as soon as possible. We'll provide further updates here on our website.
