The very best thing, of course, is that textiles last as long as possible. Wear and use your clothes until it really reaches the end of your use. Only then comes the question: how do I hand it in properly? Here you can read how and where you can hand it in responsibly. Important, because almost everything can be reused. Even if it’s damaged!

Textiles At Home

Textiles are more than you think. It’s not just your clothing, but also the things you use around the house every day. Towels, your duvet cover, that old bathrobe or even your underwear. It’s all textiles. Not using it anymore? Drop it off the right way.

Old Dish Towel?
Used Clothing?
Torn socks?

What To Do

What To Do

Use your textiles for as long as possible. Wear them, pass them on, repair them where you can, and don’t throw them away too quickly. Only when they are truly at the end of your use handing them in becomes the next step. There are several ways to hand in your used textiles properly. Here you’ll find an overview of places where you can do that, so they really get a second life.

  • Charity Shop
  • Textile Collection Bin
  • Clothing Store
Wat te doen

You can also bring your old clothing or textiles to your local thrift shop. There, your clothing will often find a new owner. If they don’t sell it there, it will be recycled into something new. Here you can find an overview of thrift shops in the Netherlands.
