Still Waters Posted March 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Charities have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds after 750 clothing banks were taken from car parks, says the Textile Recycling Association. Recycling companies working with them say sometimes up to 20 a week have gone missing in the last year across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are around 15,000 clothing banks throughout the whole of the UK, often placed at supermarket car parks and recycling sites. Some are run by charities such as The Salvation Army, Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation themselves, but others are operated by private recycling companies who give a donation to charities - on average £250 for every tonne of clothes collected. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43435428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
