Did you know you can earn up to £400 just by donating pre-loved textiles into a recycled clothing bin in your school?
In today’s world, where climate change and environmental concerns are front and centre, it’s never been more important to teach our young people about sustainability and that starts in the classroom.
At Kids Just Recycle, we’re passionate about helping nurseries, schools, and universities across the UK become part of the solution. Our mission is simple: turn unwanted clothes into cash while building a generation that values recycling as second nature.
Let’s take a look at how your school can earn cash for clothes and raise awareness at the same time.
Why recycling in schools matters more than ever
From toddlers to teenagers, children are the future custodians of our planet. If we teach them today about the importance of recycling and reusing, we’re setting them up to be the conscious, responsible adults of tomorrow. Unfortunately, the clothing industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world; millions of tonnes of wearable clothing end up in landfill every year, contributing to harmful CO2 emissions.
But it doesn’t have to be this way; by turning schools into hubs for textile recycling, we can create a powerful shift – not only reducing waste but instilling a culture of care, responsibility, and environmental action – and get paid for doing so!
Earn cash for clothes and get your school get involved, here’s how:
- Get a FREE branded recycling bin
We provide FREE clothing recycling bins, customised with your school, nursery, or university’s logo and colours to make them eye-catching and personal. Once installed outside your premises (or inside the grounds where accessible), these bins become a simple and convenient way for your whole community, students, parents, and staff to donate unwanted clothes, shoes, and household textiles. All we need is your digital logo, and we handle the rest!
For every tonne of clean, reusable items donated through your bin, we pay your school a generous £400. That’s money you can use for new equipment, school trips, extracurricular activities or even more green initiatives. Not only does it raise valuable funds, but it also prevents good textiles from being wasted, helping to fight the climate crisis. - Our referral scheme
Already have a Kids Just Recycle bin at your school? Brilliant! You can now earn £100 for every new school or business you refer to us! If they install a recycling bin through your recommendation, we’ll reward you with a cash bonus and there’s no limit to how many referrals you can make. It’s the easiest side hustle your PTA or eco-team could ever run!
The real reward?
You’re showing your pupils how small actions make a big impact. Recycling becomes something they just do; like washing their hands or tying their shoes. That’s the kind of habit that sticks for life.
This is more than a fundraising scheme. It’s a movement towards a cleaner, greener future and your school can lead the way.
Whether you’re a nursery hoping to raise funds for new play equipment, a primary school eager to promote sustainability, or a university wanting to take a stand against fast fashion, Kids Just Recycle is here to help you make it happen.
Let’s work together to turn clothes into cash! Contact our friendly team today to get started with your free branded recycling bin and discover just how easy it is to make a difference and inspire the next generation to recycle, reuse, and reimagine a better future.
