Some Interesting Textile Recycling Facts:
- Over 70% of the world's population use second hand clothes.
- If everyone in the UK bought one reclaimed woollen garment each year, it would save an average 371 million gallons of water and 480 tones of chemical dyestuffs.
- At least 50% of textiles we throw away are recyclable, however, we only recycle around 25%.

School Fundraising
Experience shows that most schools run one collection per term and as parents get used to it they actually save the clothes and the collections get bigger!

How It Works
We will arrange a mutually agreed time for our van to arrive at the school to receive the bags. Our driver will load the bags directly onto the van. The collection is then weighed and we send you a cheque. Simple!
