Our Environmental Ambassadors will be launching 'Recycle with Michael'. This is a partnership with the Salvation Army. More details to follow-watch this space!

For now, why is recycling important?

1. An estimated £140 million worth (350,000 tonnes) of used clothing goes to waste in landfill every year;
2. Giving your unwanted clothing and household items to clothing collection banks, diverts items going to landfill, and raises millions of pounds every year for other use;
3. For every tonne of textiles reused rather than sent into landfill, greenhouse gas emissions (a major cause of global warming) are reduced by 7 tonnes;
4. Extending the average life of clothes by nine months would save £5 billion in resources used to supply, launder and dispose of clothing.
