Helping residents to recycle more
You can recycle unwanted textiles or unwanted small electrical items by visiting 1 of our public recycling banks.
If you have 2 wheeled bins, you can place bags of clothes and shoes, bags of small electrical items on top of your 2 wheeled bin on the scheduled bin collection day for collection. Please do not use black bags when doing this as they will not be collected.
For more information on the additional item collection service and to see what other items we collect please visit Helping residents to recycle more.
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 (European Recycling Platform) 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.
Report a problem
If you see fly-tipping, graffiti or any other anti-social behaviour happening at these banks please report these issues immediately.
