Company and school recycling

Are you a company looking to strengthen your green credentials or a school looking for a new and innovative way of raising money? We can organise a textile recycling collection at your workplace or school.

We can split the proceeds with your school 50/50. We can offer you from £250 per tonne of clothing. The more schools in your area that are on board then the more money we can offer per tonne and the more money we can raise for your school and our vital cancer prevention work.
