Your unworn clothes deserve a second chance!
We’re partnering with Green Industries SA to help South Australians donate their unwanted, high-quality clothing, and recycle their old, worn-out linens. We’ll be taking donations of good quality clothing and footwear that will go on to be resold by local charity stores. All types of household linen made of pure or blended polyester and cotton, in any condition, can be dropped off. This includes towels, bedding, tea towels and tablecloths.
