Textiles

Baby clothes

Baby clothes are not accepted in your local council’s kerbside recycling bin, bag or box or in the residual bin.

If they are in good condition you may want to consider donating it to a local charity, charity shop or community organisation.

If they are in poor condition they can be disposed of in the textiles banks at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre.

TEXTILE FACTS:

  • Clothes and textiles should never be thrown away.
  • You can donate items that are clean and good condition to local charity shops or voluntary organisations who will be able to reuse them, or can always be donated to a local jumble sale or a clothes swap event
  • You can even donate unusable items (e.g. torn or ripped clothes, single socks) but keep them separate from good quality materials and label bags as rags.
  • Most clothes and textiles, regardless of their condition, can be recycled at all of Merseyside and Halton's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
