Reusable items of clothing can also be placed in textile banks at household recycling centres.
Duvets, cushions and pillows are rarely wanted by charities but can be used for upcycling into draught excluders or stuffing for arts and crafts projects.
Soiled duvets, and stuffed items or large quantities can be taken to household recycling centres and put in the rubbish not recycled container.
