South Cambs is running a trial textile and shoe collection (so listen up, any old coats). The trial covers 5,000 households and, if successful, may be rolled out across the district.
Villages in the north of the district - so not yet Thriplow or Whittlesford - are being given blue recycling bags so they can put out spare clothing, shoes and household linen for collection alongside their blue bin.
The textiles and shoes collected are sent to a textile processing facility. Reusable items are sold for reuse in both the UK and abroad and non-reusable items such as worn clothing and old towels are sorted with some items being used for cleaning rags and industrial wipers.
