You can give your old clothes a second life by depositing them in a textile bank. These are usually located on public amenity sites, in reclamation
centres or near can and bottle banks.
Anything you can wear or sleep in can be put in a textile bank. This
includes all clothes, hats, handbags, belts, and shoes, as well as blankets, curtains, towels and bed linen. Under clothes are also in great demand.
Don't forget to tie your shoes in pairs so they don't lose each other!
You can't put duvets, pillows, carpets, rugs, eiderdowns, books or bric-a-brac in textile banks.
There are specialist companies who may be able to use these sorts of
things, so call your local authority's Recycling Officer for more information.
