7 Places In Singapore To Recycle Your Old Clothes At

Give back to the community while decluttering your home.

What happens after you’ve Marie Kondo-fied your home and find yourself left with a mountain of discarded garments that, erm, don’t spark joy?

Instead of binning them, consider giving them a second lease of life. Just because they don’t inspire us doesn’t mean they can’t spread some cheer to others.

Naturally, most places (save for one which we found) request that we be decent enough human beings to not give soiled, torn, or unwearable garments. Remember, your donation should not be a burden to others.

UNIQLO

Guilty of hoarding all the clothes that don’t fit you anymore? Well, you can now donate your pre-loved items to Uniqlo. As part of its All-Product Recycling Initiative, the brand aims to maximise the use of unwanted clothing that their customers no longer wear and distribute them to people in need such as refugees and underprivileged people. However, you can only donate used Uniqlo clothing at any Uniqlo store during operating hours and you are also required to wash the clothes prior to donation.

H&M
custom

Did you know Swedish brand H&M has an ongoing recycling drive around the world and in Singapore? And you can drop off clothes and textiles from any brand in any condition at H&M outlets in Singapore. According to an H&M rep in Singapore, clothes that can be reworn will be marketed as second-hand goods, while those that can’t be shredded and recycled to produce new clothes, insulation material, or cleaning cloths. Simply drop them off at garment-collecting boxes that are usually located next to the counter. In fact, you’ll get handsomely rewarded with a $10 discount on your next purchase (minimum spending of $80) for every bag of clothes donated – with a maximum of two vouchers per day.

METTA WELFARE ASSOCIATION

The association runs welfare centres and provides daily support to the elderly and those with special needs. Clothing in good condition, belts, handbags, books, newspapers, used computers, laptops, IT peripherals (e.g. hard disks), mobile phones and Li-ion batteries are accepted. Before dropping off your donations, they request that you put non-electronic items in plastic bags before placing them in the bin located in the basement carpark. They now also have bins at all Zara outlets in Singapore where clothes from any brands will either be donated or recycled into new textile pieces. Better quality pieces will also be marketed through charitable channels and the funds will be used for social projects by various NGOs.

THE SALVATION ARMY

The Salvation Army would be a familiar name to most of us and a reliable outlet where you can donate your used clothing, especially if it’s the closest to you. You can contribute clothes, furniture, household goods, electronic devices, toys and books while helping those in need. But did you know that The Salvation Army has a free door-to-door collection service as well? But this is only for bulky items like furniture and large appliances.

To request for collection, e-mail donor@SMM.salvationarmy.org with a brief description of the items you wish to donate, your collection address and contact number, or use the online booking form, or call 6288 5438 (WhatsApp: 8520-5343) for an appointment. Although it’s free, they state on their website that due to rising costs, they will be appealing for an optional donation of $60 for each collection.
