After 25 years we’ve had some new bedroom curtains. The old curtains are surprisingly still good although the linings are not. They are not good enough to give to a charity shop but where else can I recycle them? Once upon a time any fabric could be recycled. There was a company called Waste Saver in Yorkshire which send textiles off to be repurposed into all sorts but I can’t find any reference to it now. Oxfam definitely sent unsaleable things to them. Any ideas? My OH is itching to dump them in our household bin which is definitely not what I want to do.
Like Jax has mentioned, our re-cycle paradise (it's brilliant and takes everything) has a re-cycle bin for household fabrics. Some charity shops take textiles too.
