Textiles

Old and damaged clothes and textiles cannot be recycled or disposed of in your local council’s kerbside rubbish or recycling bin, box or bag.

TEXTILE FACTS:

• Clothes and textiles should never be thrown away.
• You can donate items that are clean and good condition to local charity shops or voluntary organisations who will be able to reuse them, or can always be donated to a local jumble sale or a clothes swap event
• You can even donate unusable items (e.g. torn or ripped clothes, single socks) but keep them separate from good quality materials and label bags as rags.
• Most clothes and textiles, regardless of their condition, can be recycled at all of Merseyside and Halton's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
