Here At Recycled Clothing Banks, we are dedicated to keeping your pre-loved clothing, shoes, and household textiles out of landfill by giving them a second life.
Did you know that nearly all textiles that end up in landfill sites are fully recyclable? The problem is often not the willingness to recycle but the lack of proper disposal options, which leads many people to simply toss these items in the household bin.
Increasingly, charity shops are refusing to take more, or certain items, as mass donations are leaving them without the capacity to accept any more. This is where Recycled Clothing Banks steps in to make a difference!
How do Recycled Clothing Banks Work?
We offer FREE branded textiles recycling banks tailored to meet the needs of your community or organisation. Here’s how it works:
- Personalised Branding: We work with you to design a recycling bin with your logo and message to make your worthy cause visible inspiring more people to donate.
- Easy Installation: We handle the entire installation process at no cost to you, ensuring the bin is placed in a location convenient for your community.
- Maintenance and Cleaning: Our trained, ID-wearing, uniformed staff ensure that your bin is regularly emptied, cleaned, and well-maintained. We keep the area tidy and free from debris, so you don’t have to worry about upkeep or unsightly mess.
- Earn £400 per reusable tonne: For every tonne of textiles collected, we pay £400 directly to your organisation, helping fund your community projects, charities, or other good causes.
Who can benefit from a recycled clothing bank?
Our clothing banks are ideal for a wide range of locations and organisations, including:
- Local businesses
- Schools and universities
- Community/village halls and churches
- Scouts, guides, and community groups
- Sports clubs
- Retail parks and shopping centres
- Garden centres
- Local councils and authorities
By placing a recycled clothing bank in high-footfall areas, we make it easy and convenient for people to donate their unwanted textiles while supporting your cause. The impact can be significant, with many tonnes of clothing collected, diverted from landfills, and repurposed to help people in need both in the UK and abroad.
