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 the textiles are worn out or the fabric is in poor condition, you can also take textiles to a reuse and recycling centre (RRC) (opens in a new window) where they will be recycled by one of our contractors.
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.
Textiles recycling at recycling centres
We recently had to stop accepting textiles at some of our RRCs due to challenges in our supply chain. We're pleased to say that we have found a solution and textiles are accepted again at all sites.
