What We're Doing
Through our Rag Box Scheme, we collect more types of clothes than any other collection service- giving you more money per kilo, you are helping recycle textiles, stopping clothing going to landfill.
Did you know it is estimated that approximately £140 million pounds of clothing waste is produced in the UK every year. Unbelievably around 350'000 tonnes our sent unnecessarily to landfill.
We are preventing 100 tonnes a week going to UK landfills, we are creating an immediate positive affect on the environment and our redistribute is providing good quality clothing to some of the poorest developing nations in the world also employment and opportunities.
