Merton Council has announced the temporary removal of all textile recycling banks following the collapse of its former contractor.

Ongoing issues with fly-tipping and overflowing banks made the temporary arrangements unsustainable, prompting the decision.

Greendaw Textile and Recycling Ltd. will remove the banks across the borough over the weekend of 25 April 2025.

Until the banks are replaced, residents are advised not to leave items at former locations, as this will be treated as fly-tipping.
