Tackling textiles
Did you know that in 2017/18 a staggering £1.7 million was spent sending textiles for disposal in West Sussex?
West Sussex residents threw away nearly 11,000 tonnes of unwanted clothes, towels, blankets or sheets into the general rubbish even though most of these textiles could have been repaired, reused or recycled.
The West Sussex Waste Partnership are asking you to help us tackle textiles, and reuse, repair, or recycle them instead. Visit Waste Prevention West Sussex website to find out how you can help.
