Public recycling banks

Textiles and small electrical items

If you have any unwanted clothes, shoes or other textiles please take them to green Traid or Salvation Army banks located around Waltham Forest. Drop off textiles in any condition and they will be separated into good quality items to be passed on, or damaged items which will be recycled.

You can deposit electrical items at one of the grey small electrical recycling banks located around the borough. ERP will recycle all electrical appliances less than 52cm x 51cm in size from the banks, for example kettles, laptops, phones, irons, hair dryers or toasters.
