There’s one outside North Dulwich station

It's not for recycling but for good quality clothes. And sadly always overflowing onto the pavement. Appreciate your response.

You can take it to the hospice charity shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".

Ace, I didn't know that. Thank you.

Also one in the carpark of the plough pub, which you will have to verify your car reg to avoid a fine 

Great, will check that out.

Thanks for that. I did look on there but it wasn't terribly clear.

All Primarks have a textile recycling bin in the store. They take all textiles in whatever condition.

The one at the Plough is not for rags officially but the stuff that people leave is variable.

Thanks but assume would just go to landfill then if not good condition.

The one at The Plough is operated by a cult.

If there's something iffy with the organisation, how come The Plough has it in its car park?

Are they being paid shedloads of money to have the bin there?

Let's hope Planet Aid's current workers aren't forced to make "voluntary" contributions to the cult, then.

"Patrick Goteka was working for a charity in Zimbabwe when, in 2006, his employer offered him a big break - the chance to transfer to the US.

Goteka, who would be working as a manager in the recycled clothes business, knew the move would mean sacrifices - separating him from his wife and three children. But he says he didn't bank on also having to join a cult-like organisation - the Teachers Group - and surrender a chunk of his monthly salary when he took on his new role."

    • We went in for a quote for our tiny bathroom and they said it would cost £8-10k for off the shelf items and installation.   We looked around and found https://thehousemartin.co/about He did the work for less than 5k, including plastering, carpentry of a custom cabinet, plumbing, painting and tiling. The quality of finished work was very high so we can't recommend him highly enough, the only additional cost to us was purchasing the fixtures.
