Textile Recycling
There is now a large textile recycling container in the school playground. Previously we have had very successful ‘rag bag’ collections which have raised a lot of money for the school. We now have the opportunity to donate textiles in this container throughout the year – so there is now excuse for hoarding unwanted textiles!
You can use the container to deposit all types of clothes, shoes, bags, hats, towels, curtains and bed linen. These are sent away and sorted, with good quality clothes being sent to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe as second hand clothing. Poorer quality textiles are shredded and used for mattress filling, industrial wiping cloths, etc.
This is a great opportunity to raise funds for the school and also become more environmentally friendly.
Please make great use of the facility.
