A relatively small portion of the clothing available to our recycling business - about 5% - is considered to be of a quality suitable for our disadvantaged clients.
The majority of clothing and other cotton materials received - about 80% - is cut to produce wiping cloths that are sold to commercial and industrial businesses throughout northern NSW. There is about 15% wastage, the responsible disposal of which costs the Association significant funds.
NB - We can only accept clothing and manchester items that are natural materials (no wool or synthetics and preferably 100% cotton.) No shoes, accessories, bags etc can be accepted.
