Cloop Life Line Bins

Info

Shoes, clothes, underwear, bras, accessories, linen, pillows and more! These bins take almost all textiles.

The Cloop textile recycling bins operated by Life Line Clothing Pte Ltd recycling company are found in various locations around Singapore.

This is a one-stop bin to put all your clothing and textiles. New or old, in mint condition or shabby, you can put it all in.

Life Line Clothing works hard to make sure your old clothes don't end up in the incinerator or in landfill. They sort old clothes and textiles into 500 categories for various purposes including overseas markets, fabrics for upcycling fashion, and cleaning rags, among others thereby ensuring nothing goes to waste.

This is very different than most operations which cherry pick the best items for resale and send the rest to be incinerated.

Life Line's sorting facilities are in Malaysia.

See a video about their operations here.

Note that fabric remnants should be at least 50cm long.

* Items marked with an asterisk should be reusable: meaning they will NOT be “recyled”. If they are suitable for reuse, they will be given away to relevant organisations or sold to 2nd hand clothing dealers.

§ Although it is not indicated on the side of the bin, we have confirmed with Life Line that these bins take both soft toys and hard plastic toys as well as sporting equipment. These items should be in good reusable condition. Only deposit items that fit into the bin - for example a football is fine, an ice-hockey stick is not. Please put all such items in a plastic bag as described below.

Please wash and dry everything before putting them in the bins. Soiled items will not be sorted and may end up thrown out.
