In the UK, it’s advised against placing clothing in your household recycling bin, as there’s a risk they won’t be recycled and could instead contribute to landfill waste. A better option is to recycle your old clothes by donating them to a charity shop or taking them to a local household waste recycling centre equipped with specific bins for clothes and textiles recycling.

For businesses, it’s beneficial to set up a system for collecting old and damaged clothes by arranging for clothes recycling bins to be delivered to your location. This allows for an efficient way to sort, store, and dispose of clothing in an environmentally friendly manner.
