clothing bank


Recommended Posts

There used to be one next to the Mind shop at the Goose Green roundabout - not sure if it’s still there… Can’t think of one nearer other than remember vague talk about there being ones in the car park on Peckham Rye? St Chrisopher’s charity shop on Lordship Lane also take bags for ragging. Hope you find one!

the two clothing banks beside the mini-supermarket at the junction of Upland Road and Hindmans Road have disappeared.

 

 

I'm not surprised.


I once saw two women pulling stuff out of them and just leaving it on the pavement (presumably after taking what they wanted).


I take clothes which aren't good enough for a charity shop to sell to the hospice shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".


They recycle them somewhere, can't remember where.

Is there a reason you can't donate to a charity shop? We have 3 or 4 on Lordship Lane.


Alternatively Traid (they have a branch in Peckham) will come and collect from you.


If the clothing is too tatty to sell on many charity shops will accept it sorted into separate bags as "rags" which they get paid for (as Sue said earlier in the thread).


The recycling centre on Old Kent Road also accepts fabric recycling, goes without saying.

The quality of stuff in charity shops is generally quite high and the quality of anything I'm throwing away is generally quite low, so I had assumed charity shops wouldn't want it. Perhaps I should sort it again.


The BHP shop on the Old Kent Road took away more than a dozen bags of clothing when my husband died but that was relatively good stuff.

I looked up Tvind on Wikipaedia, thanks for the reference.

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
