Are you stuck with old clothing and shoes that you don’t wear?
Then i-collect will come to your rescue.
i-Collect, a textile recycling business, wants to give schools and organisations the opportunity to clean up their environment, raise funds and promote entrepreneurship.The business collects used textiles and clothing from organisations and schools, weighs the material and pays them a set fee per kilogramme.
The Benoni City Times has an i-Collect collection bin outside our offices at the Northmead Square.
Residents are urged to support this cause by depositing items they no longer use in the collection bin.
Clean clothes, shoes, toys, bedding, curtains, towels, linen, tablecloths, handbags and belts are welcome.
Dirty clothes, broken shoes, rubbish, paper, metal and glass should not be put in the bin.
Once it has been filled the organisation will come and collect the contents.
The collected items are sorted, baled and sold to informal traders and small businesses nationally.
Waste is also baled or shredded and used in the industrial sector.
Collection bin stations can also be found at St Dunstan’s College, Ashton International College, Shanan Christian School and Kathstan College.
A branded collection bin can be ordered as a permanent feature on a school’s or organisation’s premises.
