Clothes and Shoe Recycling
Each year the British public throw away over one million tonnes of clothing and household textiles - the majority of these could either be reused or recycled.
The Clothes Collector and Shoe Friends initiative aims to teach school children that unwanted clothes and textiles should be seen as a resource rather than a waste. Working in partnership with the local authority, the initiative creates waste awareness and provides the school with re-use and recycling facilities.
On an average week, the Clothes Collector get 200 tonnes of textiles, clothing and shoes. This is sorted and exported for re-use, although 10 per cent that isn't fit for re-use will be put into wiping cloths, 5 per cent will be sent for flocking and felting, leaving a minimal 5 per cent waste, incorporating household rubbish, hangers and single shoes.
If you have any unwanted clothes, household textiles or pairs of shoes please do bring them in and support this worthwhile initiative. We collect all clothes and textiles (in any state) and wearable shoes (not broken or worn out) including dance shoes, football boots, roller boots etc. Please make sure they are paired.
The school will receive £5 for each sack of clothes or household textiles which would otherwise be thrown into the waste bin.
Check out the website www.lmb.co.uk which has lots more information, a virtual tour (which is great fun) and activities for the children.
