Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1 Paid Members Posted August 1 Can't put this in any other thread so it gets what I'm sure will be a thread of the year contender. So I'm clearing shit out of my flat in anticipation of a house move that will hopefully happen within a year. I've got a load of clothes that are unwearable - stuff that's got holes in or the zip's broke etc. I don't want to just chuck it in a dumpster, I'd prefer to recycle it. Searched online for places that do it and all I'm getting is charity shops that will only take stuff they can put on the shelves. Is there anywhere that specialises in recycling old fabric and that and, importantly, do home pick-ups? Because it's the summer holidays and I'm housebound. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted August 1 Posted August 1 You want textile recycling, not clothing. A lot of supermarkets that have your usual recycling banks have a textile one as well as a wearable clothing one. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted August 1 Members Posted August 1 A local school or a college that has a fashion course could be a good bet. They always need materials to upcycle. Quote

That's it. Smashing, thanks. Our laziness at just leaving stuff around is shocking. The wardrobe is heaving with shite we haven’t worn in years. Quote

DavidB6937 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 My wardrobe is full of stuff I probably should've stopped wearing years ago. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 1 Paid Members Posted August 1 If it's stuff that's perfectly wearable, you might as well put them up on Vinted and get some cash for them. Of course, if you can't be arsed, obvious answer is charidee shops. Quote
