Textile waste container

Waste Collection

Please leave unwanted textiles in the textile waste containers. You will find them on the right side of the building, next to the electronic waste container and the bottle return machine.

Many people wonder what happens next to the textiles left in the containers.

A special collection vehicle collects the contents of the textile containers and delivers them to the Textile Management Centre. At this centre, textile waste is sorted for reuse (wearing) and material recovery (recycling into other products). Clothing, footwear and home textiles are sorted into nearly 100 different categories according to material, season and purpose. Textile items that are no longer suitable for use are separated. Unsuitable items are incinerated to generate energy. Part of the suitable, sorted textiles is exported to other countries.
