Textiles in poor condition

Some textile recycling banks will accept textiles that are worn out.

The fabrics are shredded before being recycled into new items. Industrial quality “blankets” which protect equipment whilst in transit are an example of what recycled textiles may become. Contact your local council to find out if textile banks in your area will accept damaged textiles.

A number of charity shops will also accept damaged textiles, it’s best to check with the individual charity shops before you go. They sell them on to rag merchants.

Contact your local council to find out where your nearest textiles recycling bank is.
