Textile recycling trial

The Textile Recycling Trial, funded by the Canberra Region Joint Organisation, is your chance to make a real difference. We're calling on the community to help divert unwanted textiles like clothing, shoes, belts, handbags, and linens from ending up in landfill. Let’s recycle, repurpose, and give these items a second life. 

What Can You Recycle?

• Clothing
• Shoes, belts, handbags
• Linen, towels, blankets
• Curtains

Items We Can’t Accept:

• Soft toys, doonas, pillows, or cushions
• Electric blankets
• Suitcases, mats, rugs, and carpet
• Fabric off-cuts

Remember, all donated items must be clean and dry. Friendly staff will be on site to assist with your drop-offs.

Collected textiles will be managed by Nowra-based RRR Australia (Reuse – Repurpose – Recycle), ensuring items in good condition are donated locally and overseas, while unwearable items are transformed into cleaning rags or recycled into innovative new products like rugs and floormats.
