Jamming Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Does anyone know where I can recycle textiles? (Pants,vests, socks, trousers with holes just in the knee) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307531-recycling-textiles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPR Dave Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I just put all this stuff in the green bin these days. Costs me 12.50 environment tax to drive to a recycling point so I don't bother and just send it to landfill Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307531-recycling-textiles/#findComment-1576265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siduhe Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 You have to go to Lewisham for textile recycling in our part of the borough. I think I last raised this with councillors in 2016 or 2017, and the advice was to use the mobile recycling truck (10am-1pm so no use for anyone working outisde ED and even that service has gone now). I use the Wood Vale.https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/wasterecycle/recycling/textile-recycling Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307531-recycling-textiles/#findComment-1576266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Why not put them into a charity bin - there is one at the Plough, another at Mind at Goose Green and one on Hindmans Road at the corner shop? They take clothes and recycle the ?rags?. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307531-recycling-textiles/#findComment-1576270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digbina Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 You should be able to drop these off at any charity shop. Just ask them if they take clothes for ragging. If they do, they?d probably appreciate it if you labelled the bag as rags, it saves them time sorting stuff out. They get paid per kilo. There?s also a clothing bin outside North Dulwich station. Be aware that most places won?t accept duvets or pillows for textile recycling.

tomskip Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The Sainsbury's Saver Centre at Bell Green still has a big recycling bank. Or you can take them to the Southwark tip (if you have a ULEZ compliant car of course). We usually take a couple of bags of fabrics and shoes for recycling in our bi-annual tip runs.

Sue Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I take them to the hospice shop in a bag clearly marked "rags". Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307531-recycling-textiles/#findComment-1576415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 There are clothes recycling bins by Family stores on corner of Hindmans & Upland Rd Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307531-recycling-textiles/#findComment-1576514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachp Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 St John?s hospice shop on Lordship Lane take them, I usually just drop them off and let them no it?s recycling so they don?t waste time going through the bag to check. It?s really easy if you live nearby and no risk that you turn up and it?s full (which can be a problem with the bins).

Jamming Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Thank you everyone for responding. St Christophers took them but wanted them labeled "Rags".
