clothes recycling for cash

marklyn

used clothing company return to earn,sent me a big bag which holds 6 binbags of clothes,filled it to the brim and recieved £2.05 for all of it,m and s,next clothes etc. gutted.choose carefully who you recycle your clothes with,you should normally get approx £10.00 per binbag.Best thing is they wont send me the items they dont want back saying they are sending them to be recycled as they dont want them!!

the decent 1st pay per kilo which is normally 40p to 50 p per kilo and as for the 1s they sending to be recycled they would get paid for them

I can't even remember how many bags we had. Maybe 8 or so and we got £4 odd. It is what it is. Extra bit of change from stuff you'd be throwing out or giving away anyway.

Why such a low amount? Cash for clothes should pay 50p a kilo. At least.

There are other companies, which pay even more, up to £4.50 a kilo for new clothes with tags on them. webuyclothes.co.uk for example. They will come and collect the items, weigh them then and there, and pay you cash on the spot. Though I always find with these places, it is a good idea to weigh your goods first, so that if someone tries to pull a number on you, i.e. by having their scales wrongly calibrated, you know not to use or recommend them. There are a couple of places like that up here that I steer clear of.

I find second hand clothes, especially branded ones, do far better at car boot sales. I suppose though one has to be bothered to do one. It is much easier just to dump them all in bin bags and take them to cash for clothes. I don't go to anywhere that wants to pick through and inspect the clothes though if the price is only 50p a kilo. For that they can take what I give them. If I wanted them picked through I'd have done it myself and gone to a local car boot sale instead.

Having said that, life planet recycling, for anyone up in Scotland, pay 80p a kilo. They are in Edinburgh Glasgow and also, Paisley. Not sure if they have other branches. They do pick through the clothes though.

food for thought, you get paid what the workers roughly got paid to put it together.

What do the recycling companies do with the clothes, do they give them to charities.
