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.)

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

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.

Most charity shops will take rags for textile recycling. I’ve also donated to Christopher’s, Shelter on LL and Scope in Camberwell. The only one I’ve known to refuse is the Oxfam in Herne Hill.

The Oxfam shop refusal may be because they have very limited storage space at the back of their very small shop?

That's useful, thank you - I've got a Primark near my work.

Primark is (perhaps surprisingly) also one of the most diligent when it comes to labour rights in the supply chain, and I have to say the bits I've had from there have been quite good quality and lasted a long time. But otoh it's still fast fashion I suppose.

    • Hello, I'm from Ireland and would love my children to be able to know the language - I can speak it but I'm not so good at teaching it. If there's anyone local who used to teach Irish at primary school (preferably Connemara Irish) and who'd like to tutor 3 boys aged 7-10 for an hour or two a week please do let me know. Thanks, Sarah
