All you need to do is drop off your unwanted items to one of our clothing banks located across the region.

Can you help us find a home for a recycling bank?

We are always looking for new homes for our textile banks. All that is needed is a suitable outdoor location and access for members of the public to donate their unwanted clothing and shoes.  

The ideal locations are:

  • Shops and supermarkets
  • Town/village centre car parks
  • Community centres and village halls
  • Garden Centres
  • Pubs
  • Leisure Centres

If you think you can help please email gwaac@recyclingsolutions.org.uk
