RTS Textile Recyclers
Textile Recycling Clothing Charity Services.
Recycle Bin Distribution and Collection Service (Door to Door).
RTS Textile Recycling formed in 1994 by Ross Voralia and for the last 16 years, we have been buying textiles and shoes from UK charity shops.
We also distribute recycle bins to local places, on behalf of a number of our charities and any rags collected are weighed and paid at a tonnage price, to the charities monthly or upon each weekly collection.
This website is designed to show prospective new charities what RTS Textile Recyclers are all about and also to assist existing charities with all of their needs.
Please feel free to contact us any time.
What is Recycling?
Recycling textiles is processing used clothing materials to other people to prevent waste, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.
Why Recycle?
Up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be recycled and textiles make up part of this waste therefore, by recycling your clothes you are helping sustain the environment we enjoy living in. The great thing about textile recycling is that your not only helping the globe but also men, women and children less fortunate who can't afford to clothe themselves.
How to Recycle?
We have three different ways to help you recycle your clothing which are:
- via our bin placements scheme found all over the UK supporting charities.
- if you have young children our school recycling fund rasising idea scheme can help their school raise much needy funds.
- if your neaby you can bring the clothes to our offices and we'll pay you cash for clothes.
Textiles: rag collections; rag exporters; textile merchants; used clothing; used rags, unwanted rags for charities. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
