Recycling of clothes, shoes, bedsheets, curtains and soft toys
A facility has been created at the Bring in Site in Qui si Sana (just before the tunnels) for the recycling of Clothes, Shoes, Soft Toys, Bedsheets & Curtains).
All clothes and materials are sorted, and those considered to be in good condition are given as charity.
Collected items are sent to Africa/India/Ireland where they are sold in street markets. Some charity shops have complained that clothing donors have been diverted to the blue banks. Clothing unsuitable for resale goes to make RDF (refuse derived fuel) for incinerators. In this way Malta's EU recycling targets are more easily met.
