Can this material be placed in your house recycling bin for curb side collection?

Batteries should never be put in your recycling or waste bin. Rechargeable batteries and lithium-ion batteries are hazardous and could produce sparks that may start a fire in the trucks or recycling facility. This includes batteries in laptops, mobile phones, power tools and cameras. Place sticky tape around battery terminals to prevent fires (scroll down for more information).

Some organisations accept worn, damaged and unsaleable clothing (even underwear!) which are recycled into industrial rags or othertextile by-products. Clothing retailers H&M, Zara, Upparel (formerly Manrags) and Uniqlo each have garment collection programs for clothing or textiles, which they reuse or recycle. Macpac and Patagonia both have trade-in programs for their own pre-loved clothing, where customers can return their worn-out ordamaged clothing for store credit. After offers a home collection service for your used and unwearable clothing, which is then recycledby their textile recycling partners.
