Textile recycling

[dennyboy1]

Hello,

I'm looking for a textile recycling bin in ED. Based on suggestions from other threads I tried the bins at North Dulwich station and Plough car park but these are specifically clothing donation bins.

I need somewhere I can put 'rags' - broken jeans, old tea towels, etc

Thanks

Try Mind and St Christopher’s - they generally accept such items, if bagged. There is a large bin at the car park of The Plough but it’s often full (despite my calls to the number provided) and some (on here) have said the organisation has links to certain charities/groups that one may find troubling. (Please do your own research. I cast no aspersions.)

I have always taken mine to the main St Christopher's shop, in a bin bag clearly marked "Rags".

They have always accepted them.

Clean items only, obviously.
