Charity offers on-request pick up of unwanted clothes & shoes!

Hello!  I live in Haringey and also work for the environmental  charity TRAID.  We are trialling a scheme across the borough, including Harringay ward, offering residents a free pick up of unwanted clothes and shoes direct from your door. 

They are timed for Wednesday evenings between 6 - 9, when more people are home and you can give your donations directly to our driver (protects them from theft and weather) who will be in a clearly branded TRAID van.  Your donations enable us to stock our charity shops, and some of you may know we have one of our biggest shops locally in the heart of Wood Green. 

Book online www.traid.org.uk/collections by email recycling@traid.org.uk or by phone 020 8733 2580 (then Option 1). 

Funds raised from your donations support international development  projects fighting poverty, exploitation and environmental harm across the textile supply chain including child and sweatshop labour, helping garment workers to access basic rights and safer working conditions, pesticide free cotton and much more!  Visit our projects page to find out more www.traid.org.uk/projects.html I've attached a leaflet, and if anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!  Thanks & please do spread the word to friends, family and neighbours.  And, if you're that way inclined, you can follow us on twitter www.twitter.com/traid 

Thanks, Leigh
