Reduce, ReUse & Raise Funds
What is Reduce, ReUse and Raise Funds?
How Does It Work?
Lintel Trust have partnered with Clyde Recycling for this initiative. Clyde Recycling have over 30 years of industry leading experience in the recycling and distribution of donated clothes and work with some of the UK's leading charities. For every tonne of textiles, Clyde Recycling will donate £200 to Lintel Trust.
All money raised will be ring-fenced for your specific community and accessed through Lintel Trust. Once you have raised £500, the money is available to your community in the form of a grant, allocated on a participatory budgeting basis.
Lintel Trust will provide you with a branded textile recycling bank for recycling clothes, fabrics and shoes. If you would prefer an indoor cardboard recycling box, we can arrange for this too.
Or you can hold an event asking people to have a clear out and we can arrange a collection of materials to be recycled.
This is the fundraising element of the project - the more you recycle, the more you raise!
How to get involved
Housing associations and co-operatives that would like to find out more or take part in the project should contact Lintel Trust using the 'contact us' option or register interest using the Recycling Registration Form the button at the bottom of the page.

Textiles are the UK’s fastest growing household waste stream. By reusing and recycling textiles we can greatly reduce the amount we send to landfill and give unwanted items a new lease of life. Taking part in sustainable initiatives can help reduce your organisation’s carbon footprint whilst supporting local community projects through raising funds.
