Locations for Textile Waste Disposal

denmark

Since January 2022, municipalities across Denmark have established systems for the separate collection of textile waste. The organization and delegation of responsibility in used textile collection vary among municipalities, with some collaborating with private actors and charitable organizations to facilitate collection through civic amenity centres and via door-to-door collection. Local recycling stations also accept textile waste. 

Textile collection is not considered to be waste collection if the collector makes it clear they only wishes to receive clean, reusable products. 

Collection containers can be found here.
