About us
|
 Welcome to D & M Recycling. We are Textile Bank operators on behalf of local councils & charities. Established in 1990 and with 18 years experience we offer an unrivalled and complete Textiles Collection, Warehousing and Distribution service.
We collect from recycling banks and charity shops throughout London the Home Counties and Sussex from our warehouse and distribution centre in Croydon. We distribute the textiles and shoes we collect for re-use and recycling by accredited sorting processors throughout the U.K.
All textiles, clothing, household linens, shoes and accessories can be re-used or recycled, even old worn out items can be recycled as long as they are clean.
Please contact us to arrange a collection point or to find out more about how you can use our services.

Additional information
|
 Textile Recycling originated in the Yorkshire Dales about 200 years ago. These days the “Rag & Bone” men are textile reclamation businesses, which supply collected textiles and shoes for re-use, providing an essential economic source of clothing for developing economies. Material not suitable for re-use is recycled, providing wiper cloths, Flock for the furniture & bedding industries and fibres to be re-claimed to make new garments.
It is estimated that more than one million tonnes of textiles are thrown away each year, with most of this coming from household sources. Textiles make up about 3% by weight of a household bin. At least 50% of the textiles we throw away are recyclable, however the proportion of textiles re-used or recycled annually in the UK is only around 25%
