Recycle your old fabric and clothes for free!

Bring your old fabric and clothes to the Kew Depot Recycling Centre on Saturday 21 June from 10.30am to 1.30pm to recycle at no cost.

We're partnering with Textile Recyclers Australia to recycle your old fabric and clothes that you can no longer reuse or mend.

This event is exclusively for Boroondara residents (no businesses).

How it works

Arrive on time as we can't hold your spot.
Drive through the depot and hand your old fabrics and clothes to the on-site staff. See accepted items below.
Only standard cars or small vans can drop items off.

Amount of old fabrics and clothes you can bring

Residents can bring up to one shopping bag of old fabrics or clothing on the day.
