Textiles beyond wear?

All curtains, blankets, bed linen, shoes, underwear and even odd socks should be recycled. If the item isn't good enough for a charity shop to sell it on, you can either:

• Deposit at a bring-bank near you
• Take them to your nearest household recycling centre

The only textiles you should ever put in your bin are unusable stuffed textiles, such as duvets, cushions and pillows.
