Find a textile recycling bank

Donate unwanted clothes, textiles and shoes that are still wearable at banks around Islington.

When donating items

  • put them inside a plastic bag or put them in the bank as loose items
  • put shoes into a bag or tie them together as a pair
  • take duvets and pillow fillings out of bed sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases
 

If you have a suggestion for where to put a new textile recycling site, please let us know.
