Knowsley household clothing collection service
Once collected, all textiles are transported to the Roberts Recycling Group International sorting facility in Halebank, Widnes, where they are graded for reuse and recycling. Items suitable for reuse are sent to trusted partners to be given a second life, while worn or damaged materials are repurposed into new products such as industrial rags or insulation.
