Clothes banks

Anonymous12

Hi, as the title suggested: where are there clothes banks at the moment in Ennis? Thanks

Clareman

I usually use the recycling banks at the swimming pool, they have 1 for every type of recycling. Other than that Ennis National school collect old clothes as well, they've a drop off at the bike ranks at the school but I don't know if that's open to the public or not.

That's only worth using if you've a carload of stuff - it's a fiver a time to visit the council site (unless you're only bringing in WEEE stuff).

Textiles are free according to the website:

"The following items are accepted free of charge for householders:

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), such as fridges, cookers, computers, etc.
Fluorescent tubes
Waste batteries
Textiles (must be dry and clean)"

Anytime I visit, I get full value for my fiver :D

Thanks for that - I didn't know that. I shoulda read the link in full.

99% of my clothes go to charity shops (where most of 'em come from in the first place) unless they're embarrassingly tatty, in which cases cleaning cloths.

Useless wellies are difficult to dispose of - I was told by a worker in Gort Road I'd have to take them to Inagh, so they get stored with empty paint cans.

find some local school/gaa club doing a cash for clobber collection - they'll be delighted with the wellies as they pay by weight

I'll ask - we have several clubs who take scrap metal so maybe wellies too?

What can they do with them? They're no good for wearing in the wet anymore.
