Find a textile recycling bank
Donate any unwanted clothes, textiles and shoes that are clean at banks around Islington.
When donating items:
- put them inside a plastic bag or put them in the bank as loose items
- put shoes into a bag or tie them together as a pair
- take duvets and pillow fillings out of bed sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases
If you have a suggestion for where to put a new textile recycling site, please let us know.
