Clothing

Good quality wearable textiles should be donated to charitable organisations that can re-sell or redistribute them. Unwearable, end-of-life textiles should go in your red general waste bin.

Avoid landfill and explore the many ways to recycle your unwanted clothes.  

Northern Sydney Community Recycling Centre accepts wearable textiles, including good quality clothing, shoes, manchester, and accessories such as handbags, belts, scarves and hats (up to 20kg per drop off). 

H&M and ZARA accept garments or textiles for recycling. Visit the H&M website and ZARA website for further information. 

The Uniform Exchange has provided a second life for thousands of school uniforms. The website provides the community with a free platform to sell, buy or donate second-hand school uniforms for every school in Australia. 

Loop Upcycling works with companies to develop unique and innovative programs to deal with old work uniforms.

Fashion retailers or wholesalers can donate brand-new clothing to Thread Together.
