Hi Gabby,
Thank you for your recycling enquiry.
Textile waste, such as old clothes, linens, and fabrics, should not be placed in your kerbside recycling bin as it can cause problems at recycling facilities. Instead, if your textiles are in good condition, consider donating them to charity shops or clothing recycling programs.
Many councils in Melbourne also offer textile recycling drop-off points—Recycle Mate can help you find the closest locations. If the textiles are too worn out or damaged, they should be disposed of in your general waste bin.
Thank you for reaching out to Recycle Mate. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any other questions!
Thanks Murphy
