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.

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.

I believe the "charity" bin at the Plough is operated by a company under the Tvind umbrella. Tvind is...a bit questionable.

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).

I have passed there and seen people rummaging through a load of clothes which they have pulled out of the bins and strewn over the pavement.

    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
    • You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
