We have partnered with fashion reuse charity TRAID to provide free textile collections. This stops clothes from being incinerated or going to landfill and gives them a new life. Your donated clothes will be sorted and sold in one of TRAID's charity shops.
TRAID will also collect small electrical items for recycling alongside your textile collection.
