Where to recycle your old swimwear
Recycle Your Swimwear!
Not sure what to do with your old swimwear?
We always want to find more ways to be sustainable and help our planet with the ever growing clothing waste problem we have.
We are no longer able to receive your old swimwear ourselves but we can direct you straight to the right charities and recycling centres. By taking us out as the middle man we are reducing the amount of shipping required for the old swimwear to get into the right hands.
