Recycling charity TRAID offers clothes collection on request.

Hello!  I live locally and also work for the environmental  charity TRAID.  In Haringey, we are trialling a scheme offering residents a free pick up of your unwanted clothes and shoes direct from your door.  They are timed for Wednesday evenings between 6 - 9, when more people are home and you can give your donations directly to our driver (protects them from theft and weather).  Your donations enable us to stock our charity shops, and some of you may know we have one of our biggest shops locally in the heart of Wood Green.  Book online www.traid.org.uk/collections by email recycling@traid.org.uk or by phone 020 8733 2580 (then Option 1).  Funds raised from your donations support international development  projects fighting poverty, exploitation and environmental harm across the textile supply chain including child and sweatshop labour, helping garment workers to access basic rights and safer working conditions, pesticide free cotton and much more!  Visit our projects page to find out more www.traid.org.uk/projects.html I've attached a leaflet, and if anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!  Thanks & please do spread the word to friends, family and neighbours!   Leigh

Hi Leigh this is a brilliant idea. We, like most, have a huge bag of clothes waiting to go. Drop offs are hard when charity shops are on double yellow lines...  thanks. Will email.

That's great Lucy, many thanks!  Leigh

Thanks Leigh - we had the pickup, very prompt. We'll do it again no doubt!

Thanks for the feedback and the donation.  Much appreciated.  Leigh

Great idea - I was in Traid today and picked up a couple of bits so I've had a clear out at home and have a big bag that could be picked up.

One question please, do you take other textiles like bedlinen, blankets, duvets? - I have all these to get rid of too. 

Hi - We do take bed linen if they are in good condition - duvet covers etc.  And other linen such as curtains.  We can take blankets, but can't take duvets or pillows as we can't reuse or recycle them.

thanks in advance for donating to TRAID!  Leigh

Thanks very much! Will book a collection.
