We have teamed up with Recycling Solutions to install charity clothing banks across the county. It gives the Wiltshire public the opportunity of convenient locations to recycle clothing and shoes they no longer want and at the same time support their local air ambulance.

Textile recycling helps save the environment by reducing waste at landfill sites, and provides an affordable clothing supply to communities worldwide.

Any suggestions or questions about the clothing banks can be sent by email to a dedicated team at waa@recyclingsolutions.org.uk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once the donated items are sold, we get a guaranteed percentage of the sale value. This means we receive a sustainable monthly income, with no cost to us.

We accept clean clothing, paired shoes, linen, coats, towels and sheets in our recycling banks. If you have any other items you would like to donate, please visit our Charity Shop in Devizes.

Good quality items, which can be reused, are sold to second-hand clothing traders in the UK and worldwide. 'End of life' garments are recycled into industrial wipers and cloths, mattress filling, insulation and new fibres.
