Rags!

The ‘Rag Bag’ recycling scheme has been developed to provide regular fundraising for our Church. The scheme increases awareness about textile recycling and by increasing recycling rates we can help the environment by ensuring less material goes to landfill.

The scheme is completely FREE, and our church will be paid for every kg recycled. We can raise hundreds of pounds with every collection made!

If we can divert some of this tonnage away from landfill we will directly help the environment and help provide good quality clothing to some of the poorest developing nations in the world.

We can accept the following items:

• All men’s, ladies and children’s clothing
• Paired shoes (tied together)
• Handbags, bags, ties & belts
• Soft toys
• Blankets
• Underwear to include socks, tights, pants and bras etc
• Household textiles to include towels, bed linen, curtains etc.

It’s simple just fill a plastic bag with your unwanted textiles and deposit it in our ‘Rag Bag’ bin at church or ‘Rag Bag’ bank outside the Church Hall
