https://www.recyclenow.com/recycle-an-item/clothing-textiles You can recycle clothing in your kerbside collection. There is a lot of cheap clothing being imported.  Not everybody wants clothing to be in a first-rate state even if that is what some shopkeepers want.  Make sure that you have kept clothing to paint or garden in ie some such non-smart wear otherwise you'll be cross if you end up wrecking something that is really decent.  I know I get cross when I'm given best work trousers to try and make wearable again! I notice that in the news today announcing new Girl Guides uniform that they can wear their current uniform shirt until it falls apart and then they can make a tote bag out of it - and then I think get their Thrift Badge.  Ealing has a Repair Cafe.  I use old unwearable t-shirts etc as cleaning cloths and used to make children's shorts out mixed colour pieces of fabric and draught excluders out of stuffed trouser legs.
