Our Big Blue Bin
Huge thanks to everyone who has been filling up our fabric bin! All clean fabrics can be put in the bin apart from rugs, duvet and pillows (duvet covers and pillow cases are fine). There is a handy list of dos and don’ts on the side. We’ll be arranging our next collection very soon.
The clothes are sold wherever the market pays the best price – good condition clothes are sold second-hand in the UK and abroad. Other fabrics are reused as dust sheets, rags and filling material. More info is on the Kids Just Recycle website at
https://kidsjustrecycle.co.uk/
The bin will help us raise money for the school and to help us all be more green by sending less fabric to landfill.
