Who we are
Founded in 1972, Bristol Textile Recyclers (BTR) Ltd is a family run business who diverts 20 tonnes of textiles from landfill daily. Â Traditionally BTR helps its retail charity partners further fundraise for their beneficiaries by purchasing their unsellable donations including clothing and other textiles. Today, in addition working with retail charities, BTR also helps other charitable organisations fundraise with recycling with clothing drives and recycling banks.

What happens next?
1Drop off
We provide a collection service for charity and school partners. Contact us to find out when we are next in your area. Or visit our factory and drop off textiles to recycle with our cash for clothes service.
2Weighing
Whether we collect or you bring your textile recycling to us, we will weigh the bags on site and provide you with a receipt so you know exactly how much you have earned. Payment is then made by BACS when we collect or cash when you deliver to us.
3Grading
After weighing, all textiles are checked by hand to assess the garments reusability before being separated into over 160 different categories. Depending on what the item is and what condition it is in will determine where it goes next!
