Bristol Textile Recyclers -Diverting 20 tonnes of unwanted textiles from landfill daily Contact us SCHOOLS & FUNDRAISING ORGANISATIONS A great way to raise funds for your school is to collect your unwanted unwanted textiles in a free BTR textile bank! Since 2010 we have been helping schools and PTAs fundraise in this way, for special events and new equipment to enhance children’s learning experiences at school. We also work with many other charitable organisations such as community groups, clubs, churches, scout & guides. We welcome the opportunity to help any organisation to take part and raise funds for their own cause or chosen charity through the collection of unwanted textiles. HOW TO FUNDRAISE - TEXTILE BANKS Textile banks allow for year round fundraising and are a great way for the local community to support your organisation! The bank is for the recycling of clothing, shoes, handbags and belts which BTR will provide for FREE branded with your organisations details.

These have made a lot of money for the school and parents and staff love having a good clear out! Following on from this, we had a donation station installed last year which has proved so popular we have had to install a second one in a different location and these both now fill up on a very regular basis. BTR staff have always been reliable and helpful both on the phone and via email - I would definitely recommend their service."
