Clothing/textiles recycling

Place in your red lidded general waste bin (accepted at all waste management facilities).

Free textiles drop-off postponed

  • From 10 January 2025, Eurobodalla waste facilities no longer accept clothing and textiles for free.
  • Council had previously partnered with Upcycle 4 Better for textiles recovery. This agreement has been cancelled.
  • We are working on an alternate solution to keep textiles out of landfill.
  • For now, any textiles dropped off at Council's waste facilities will incur a charge and will be sent to landfill (not reused or recycled).
