  • The condition, quality, and type of the material. Items made from synthetic fibres (or less than 40% natural fibres) are more challenging to recycle due to their chemical composition, and therefore may be sent for incineration after secure shredding.

  • We have a separate textiles recycling service for regular, non-branded clothing; these items are predominantly reused and moved further up the waste hierarchy.

  • Only staff vetted to BS 7858 will collect your textiles. Your lockable bins are taken to our secure shredding unit, before being shredded in compliance with BS EN 15713. You will be provided with a Certificate of Destruction to confirm this. We are also members of the British Security Industry Association.
