As an addition to Radford’s other sustainability measures, the College is now partnering with ‘Worn Up’, a textile recycling company that aims to keep recyclable textiles out of landfill.

Worn Up collects school and corporate uniforms which are no longer wearable/saleable and they are turned into a wide range of items including tables, tiles, dog beds, acoustic tiles and more!

This is a chance to go through uniform items no longer needed and:

  • donate saleable ones to the P&F Secondhand Shop, and
  • put unsaleable items in the Worn Up pod.

Where: Recycle pod located in the P&F Secondhand Shop
What: Uniform items which are no longer useable and not saleable
EXCLUSIONS: Worn Up does not recycle school bags, shoes or intimate apparel.
