Green Benefits
Millions of garments are sent to landfill every year, creating huge waste and damaging the environment.
In the UK, we wear an item of clothing on average for less than a third of its useful lifespan.
Help Clothes Aid clean up the environment by giving for good causes.
If you have clothes and shoes to recycle please call our Helpline on 08450 722 780.
Clothes Aid gives clothes a second chance - helping to reduce damage to the environment and raising money for the causes you care about, all without costing you a penny.
Every year, British shopaholics throw away about 63% of their clothes into landfill - taking up much-needed space and emitting dangerous greenhouse gases as they degrade.
Diverting thousands of garments every year, Clothes Aid transforms your clothes into cash for charity by selling them on to nearby European countries, where there is a high demand for British high-street fashion.
And, after transport, Clothes Aid estimates that 530,000 tonnes of CO2 are saved each year by reusing clothes in this way.
