Clothes recycling banks

Textile bank

Clothes (textile) banks will recycle all clothing and textiles in any condition.

You can also drop off good-quality shoes (resalable condition). Please tie the laces together to keep them in pairs.

The clothing will be collected by LMB (external link) and hand-sorted to separate the good quality clothing which is then reused. Poor quality textiles are shredded to make cloths.
