Did you know that after the USA, Australians are the world’s largest consumers of new textiles? The Australasian Circular Textile Association estimates that nearly one million tonnes of leather and textiles end up in Australian landfill facilities each year. The average Australian contributes close to 40kg of textile waste.
Donating clothes, textiles and bric-a-brac just got a whole lot easier
Knowing what clothes, textiles, and other odds and ends you can donate is sometimes a bit of an unknown.
Willing and Able together with Impact Environmental have developed ReuseAbility – a locally driven project with the aim of diverting more than 150 tonnes of textiles and bric-a-brac from landfill.
You can request a pickup by:
- Filling out the form in Council’s Waste Info App for the free collection of textiles and bric-a brac
- Dropping off into the Willing and Able clothing bin at one of our Community Recycling Centres
- Completing the pick up form on the Willing and Able website.
