Where to recycle used clothing?

traceyde · 01-08-2011 8:58pm #1

Any unwanted good clothing i had ,I left into the clothing bank but i have a couple of bags of clothing that is not good enough to give charity as some are well worn or may have stains.
I wouldnt like to put these in the bin ,if there was someway i could recycle them. A mate of mine mentioned someplace in Athenry that takes any clothing ...does anyone know about this place?

Any advice appreciated

There's a place that pays by the kilo. I think it's called clearout.ie or something. It's in Westside on the business park across the road from Mc Donalds

There's a place out in Parkmore that pays by the kilo for them too.

I got a yellow bag from Enable Ireland a few days back. They'll take clothing and shoes. You don't get any money though.

Got a note from Ballinrobe waste saying that you can now put used clothing in your recycle bin........

Don't know if this is the same with all the bin companies.

I think I saw a place on the Tuam Road that does the pay by weight deals too.

The Corporation recycling yard in the Liosban Industrial Estate has a clothes bank for old clothes/shoes etc.

I notice to day that clearout.ie in Shannon town centre are gone. no one knows if they are gone all over the country or just this outlet.
Are the ones in Limerick still open. the phone number given never answers but it never did anwyay.
Any help is gratefully received as Im doing a clearout and a few bob would be handy.
