Clothing banks
Our clothing banks are an easy way of donating your pre-owned clothes and shoes for reuse and recycling. This not only extends their user life but helps in tackling climate change. It can reduce the demand on the planet’s natural resources.
The production of clothing is a major contributor towards -
- greenhouse gases
- water and air pollution
We have clothing banks available for use across Hull. To find a clothing bank near you enter your postcode. Choose My Maps. Use the side panel and from the drop-down menu navigate to local information and then from the list tick textile bin locations.
Make sure all your donations are placed inside the clothing banks. Do not leave any donations next to or around the clothing banks.
We accept -
- clothing that is clean and with no holes or tears
- pairs of shoes
- handbags
- belts
We cannot collect -
- bedding
- duvets
- curtains
- toys and games
- rags
- odd shoes

These items must be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre for disposal.
All our approved clothing banks are emptied on a regular basis as part of a scheduled collection. If there are issues at any of these banks, contact the bank provider. Give the location of the clothing bank and the nature of the problem.

There are a number of other companies who provide clothing banks across Hull on private land. If there are issues with these banks it is down to the bank provider or landowner to address this problem.
