Recycling underwear

sweaty_betty

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I've been having a clear out of underwear, I have somewhere to send my old bras for recycling, but am faced with a bag of old pants that I'm sure no one would wear but was hoping to find a fabric recycling place so I don't just throw them into the bin (landfill, waste, etc).

Anyone have any idea of where I can send them (& preferably not a dodgy site where people request worn knickers...!)

Bigger Marks & Spencers store have a Swhoppng boxes for recycling clothes, you can just chuck them in there.

Worth asking at any local charity shops as some take clothes for recycling - ones not suitable for sale because they are ripped etc or indeed knickers :cool: Also some "recycle your clothes" bins you find in car parks etc take clothes for recycling - they will say on them if they do.
Charities get money from the "rag man" for these sorts of clothes.

Thank you! I think there's a recycling bin like that in my local supermarket so will have a look (& at m&s).
