Creative Recycling Ideas for Funds

Recycled Clothing Banks get creative in keeping your donations flowing

Recycling for funds

When it comes to raising money for local community projects or to support the charity of your choice, coming up with new and exciting creative recycling ideas for funds can sometimes be a challenge.

2020 and 2021 (so far) will have been even more of a challenge when it comes to raising money as all large-scale events, local gatherings and pretty much anything taking place outdoors has been cancelled. This is where Recycled Clothing Banks can save the day when it comes to adding a new entry on the creative recycling ideas for funds checklist.

We’ve been working tirelessly throughout lockdowns 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 to keep our textiles recycling clothing bins operational. With charity shops closed, unwanted clothing and household textiles have been mounting up so we have been working with local community groups and businesses to install our refurbished recycled clothing bins onto premises where people can continue to donate their pre-loved items. And the best bit is that we will pay you for every tonne of reusable textiles we collect from you.

The hardest thing for us has been the supply chain of our bins. Manufacturing just stopped.

WE BUY BINS!

So, we put on our thinking caps and started to refurbish tired, old and disused recycling bins, restoring them to their former glory and helping out communities once again. The only problem we found was finding out where these bins were located so we could give them a new lease of life. Then it came to us! We offered to buy up unwanted bins from organisations who no longer used or needed them once people contacted us and told us where these bins lived!

We’ve managed to reuse and recycle old bins and turn them into refurbished, workable bins for people to make their much-needed textiles donations in once more – keeping all these pre-loved clothes, shoes and household textiles AND the bin itself, out of landfill!

FUNDS FOR CAUSES YOU SUPPORT

One way to continue to support your favourite not for profit organisations or charities is to install one of our FREE branded recycled clothing bins in your local area. We pay £300 per tonne of reusable textiles (30p per kilo) which is an easy and effective way to raise funds for any struggling community project or charity. We take care of all the artwork, all you need to do is supply a logo and we will do the rest. When your bin has been installed, all reusable clothing, paired shoes and household textiles such as towels, bed linen and curtains will make a hugely positive difference to people less fortunate in the UK or overseas.

If you know of any sites where neglected bins remain unused in areas such as businesses parks, schools, kids clubs, retail parks, garden centres, then please do get in touch with us.
