Clothing

Clothing in good condition can be:

• donated to selected op shops and charities through local charity bins, SCR recycling hubs or Donate Direct to match your items directly to those in need.
• sold at a market or through an online buy and sell platform e.g. Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace or eBay.
• given away to family and friends - try hosting a clothing swap and refreshing your wardrobe with secondhand clothes.

Some organisations collect specific items:

• professional attire can be donated to Dress for Success to help disadvantaged people dress for work or job interviews.
• good condition running shoes can be donated to Shoes 4 Planet Earth.
• good condition sports footwear, apparel and equipment can be donated to Boots For All.

Clothing in poor condition can be:

• recycled privately through textile recyclers.
• disposed of in your red bin as a last resort.

Clothing should never be placed in your green or yellow bin.
