One of the quickest and easiest ways to fundraise for your chosen charity, local school or community project is to order a clothes bank where you can earn money from your clothing donations collected. You’d be surprised to learn that you can earn up to £400 per tonne of collected pre-loved clothing, tied shoes and household textiles.
Charity shops are inundated with donations right now and are often refusing to take more, so if you are looking on Google for a clothes bank near me instead, then why not install your own and raise money for a cause closer to your heart?
By donating to a clothes bank, you could be paid out just as quickly as you fill your clothes bank and we will even offer you cash upfront to keep your cash-flow moving. The new year is always a good time for people to de-clutter their wardrobes and get rid of the garments that they no longer need; it is also a great way to keep textiles out of landfill and do your bit for the environment. Textiles recycling is proving to be very popular as we all move towards creating a greener future.
In the UK alone, we have so many unwanted items of clothing and fabrics that we could fill the whole of Wembley Stadium in less than 12 months! £140 million worth of clothing ends up in landfill every year and here at Recycled Clothing Banks, we are working hard to reduce this number significantly.
Find a clothes bank near me
Local authorities do their best to try and tackle clothing and textiles waste but often there aren’t enough clothing banks to accommodate the demand. If you need to find a clothes bank near me, you can do an internet search and you should be directed to your local recycling centre.
We work with many schools, charities, public and private sector businesses, scout, guides, cubs and brownies clubs and other organisations who take advantage of our FREE personalised branded clothing bins to be installed on their premises so that the local community can donate and help to raise much-needed funds. We take care of everything, from installing and emptying to cleaning and paying handsomely for your donations.
You can earn a great income simply by donating and collecting second-hand clothing, shoes and other household textiles into your clothing bank. Once full, we will come and empty your bin, sort and weigh reusable items and ensure these are distributed to people in the UK and overseas who are in desperate need.
We are here to give textiles a second lease of life and raise awareness around how clothes, despite their condition, can be re-used or re-purposed. We want to generate a deeper understanding of how you can help to keep fabrics out of landfill and get paid for good causes at the same time.
So, if you need to find a clothes bank near me, or you want to install your own, give our friendly team a call today.
