Autumn is the season to edit your closet and meanwhile, you may find some clothes that no longer fit. You may wish to donate them to the needy through the used clothes recycling services. The Conservancy Association (CA) has been providing used clothing recycling banks for donors to drop off their clothes. However, some people haven’t had a chance to do so due to the great amount of donation items or being too far from the banks. The good news is that CA has altogether resumed and newly launched two used clothes recycling services to provide more convenient options for the public!
1. Service resumed: “Door-to-door” Pickup Service
Door-to-door pickup service has been suspended for several years due to COVID-19. As the epidemic gradually subsided, the service is now resumed! You are welcome to make a reservation with us if it is up to 5 bags or more of used clothes (based on the size of a “Red, white and blue” nylon bag: 27 x 30 x 13.5 inches). However, such service is limited due to manpower constraints. The following persons have priority for this service:
- No CA used clothes collection points are available near the pickup location.
- Solitary elderly
- Persons with mobility difficulties
Users other than the above may experience a longer waiting time. Please accept our apology for the delay.
2. Newly launched: Dropoff in person at Jockey Club - The Conservancy Association Urban Forestry Green Hub (by appointment ONLY)
With the opening of Jockey Club - The Conservancy Association Urban Forestry Green Hub, located at 26 Yen Chow Street West, Sham Shui Po (Exit D1 of Nam Cheong Station), we are now able to spare some space for temporary storage of used clothes that are brought to us in person upon reservation. As space is so limited, donors are required to contact our staff to make an appointment in advance, or such a donation will be rejected.
We believe that the new, flexible, used clothes recycling services can better meet the needs of the public. We hope that such change can help the public develop a good recycling habit and waste reduction habit.
