You can easily help to raise awareness and raise funds too!
Teaching school children about recycling has never been more important, especially the primary age children who absorb information so easily from a young age. We need to teach them now about how they can save our planet in the future. As they grow up they can take ownership and responsibility once they truly understand the importance of recycling and what difference it can make to the environment.
By installing a recycled clothing bin in your school, you can donate all of your pre-loved clothes, tied or paired shoes or household fabrics such as towels, curtains, pillowcases and duvet covers and receive a cash payment of £400 per tonne for everything we can reuse. If you don’t have the space for a FREE branded bin, you can join our Kids Fill The Bag scheme and earn £500 per tonne, by filling a minimum of 40 refuse bags of textiles for us to collect on a pre-arranged date. We even have a new resources page available on our website so you can easily download A4 posters to help with your textile donation efforts and make your local community aware of your campaigns.
Here at Kids Just Recycle, we are really pleased to announce that we are now able to increase what we pay you too! Market price has gone up so we can now pay you an increased rate per kilo – from 35p to 40p! We ensure that everything we collect from you is carefully sorted and sent to people in the UK and overseas who desperately need these items. It’s also a great way to give them a second lease of life and more importantly keep them out of landfill.
