mayfly Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Can anyone tell me where I can take old worn out clothes, sheets, pillowcases etc that are not fit for charity shops?Is it just household waste or does the Old Kent Road recycle such stuff?I want to avoid it going to landfill.Some pairs of trousers could be turned into shorts andOne king size cotton sheet with a tear could be made into pillowcases if anyone is interested.

Castleton Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Charities can use 'rag' type items as long as you tell them. They are given money by weight Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/324195-where-to-take-worn-out-clothes-amp-textiles/#findComment-1618394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Eva Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 If you put it in a clothing bank or give it to a charity shop marked "rags" they will be able to sell it. I have reused worn out sheets and patched them. The problem can be that the whole sheet is worn out and weakened and it simply tears in different places.

Pugwash Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 St Christopher's take rags - just tell them in the shop and they will put with their rag section which is then sold to a dealer.
