In 2022, we launched our new on-site solution to bring convenient recycling to our partners’ workplaces and offices, giving new life to staff uniforms, fabric off-cuts, and faulty products. Using this new program, brands have decided to step up and offer this recycling solution to their customers so that they can recycle a few items in-store! With the support of UPPAREL, these businesses are making a real, measurable, positive impact. By recycling items through these certified UPPAREL bins, you’re ensuring your items will avoid landfill and be given a new life, all while supporting a circular fashion economy.
No drop-off locations near you? Don’t worry!
You can book a pick-up through our Australia-wide clothing collection service HERE!
Please Note:
These locations are not designed for large drop-offs. If the bin is full, we kindly ask that you do not dump your items. To recycle more, you can book a collection here.
