If you are thinking of throwing away an old piece of clothing, we would urge you to think twice!
Thought 1: Could someone else benefit from wearing it?
Thought 2: Where will it end up…100% in landfill causing more damage to the environment!
Donating your old clothes
Donating old clothes is a fantastic way to give them a new lease of life and help those in need. Instead of throwing them away, why don’t you consider donating your old clothes to a charitable cause – or better still, why don’t you try and raise funds for your school or local kids club?
It’s very simple, so here is a quick guide on how it works:
- Call the team at Kids Just Recycle
- Speak to one of our friendly team
- Tell us the name, address and other details relating to you school or club
- Agree a good spot to the place the bin
- Send us over digital artwork of your school or club’s logo
- We will get the artwork made up into stickers
- We will brand one of our recycled clothing bins with your personalised sticker
- We will deliver it to your premises
- As you and your local community collect textiles donations including reusable clothing, shoes and household textiles, we will pay you up to £400 per reusable tonne!
- We will come and collect your donations when the bin is full and one of our helpful ID-wearing staff will clean and tidy your bin area
The more you collect, the more we pay you – it really is that easy!
Top tips!
Choose who you want us to pay your money to – is it direct to your school or to a local club or charity?
Sort through your clothes – take some time to go through your wardrobe and separate the clothes you no longer wear or need. Make sure the clothes you donate are in good condition, without any significant damage or stains.
Wash and clean the clothes if they need it – before donating, it’s important to wash and clean the clothes thoroughly. This ensures that they are fresh and ready for someone else to use.
If you donate it and don’t bin it, you are doing your bit to help our environment and keep all of these reusable textiles out of landfill! We are desperately running out of landfill space in the UK and the harmful gases that they produce is speeding up global warming. By donating your old clothes, you can contribute to reducing waste, supporting those in need, promoting a more sustainable lifestyle and get a cash boost for your school or club.
If you would like to have a FREE branded recycled clothing bin installed on your school or club grounds, give one of our team a call today and let’s start making a difference to the planet and your purse! Together we can make positive change.
