Simple solutions to keeping clothes out of the bin

There are lots of simple solutions you can use to keep your clothes out of landfill. Here are some of the ways you can get started:

Charitable donations

Visit the Charity Retail Association's website to find your nearest charity shops.

Charity collections

One of the most convenient ways to donate clothes is through charity collection services. Some charities such as British Heart Foundation offer a free clothing collection service from your home. It’s easy to arrange via their website. You don’t even need to order a bag, just re-use your own bags and boxes from home!

Back to the high street

Many high street retailers such as Primark and M&S now offer clothing donation banks in store. These are sometimes called ‘bring back schemes’. This means that next time you pop out to the shops, you can drop off a bag of your old clothes.

Clothing banks

Many charities have their own clothing donation banks. So if you’ve got a large bag of clothes to donate, this is a really easy way of dropping them off. Check out our recycling locator to find a clothing donation bank in your local area.
