Used Clothes Initiative: Sulizsák
Have you got outgrown clothes you are unsure what to do with? Are you moving house or country this summer and having a clear out? If you would like to get rid of clothes, but definitely don’t want to throw them in the bin and create waste, then we have the initiative for you.
Sulizsák is a company whose mission is to connect consumers with the recycling industry. The clothes collected will be either reused in their original function or be recycled as industry materials like insulation or threads.
Ms Dinnyes and Ms Rickerby has arranged for Sulizsák to collect clothes from our school on Friday 24th June. Each child who would like to take part will receive a bag to take home and fill with unwanted clothes. They then bring them to school on the specified date to the drop-off point (TBC).
Sulizsák then make a small donation to our school for each bag which will contribute towards our eco and garden projects, where we also focus on sustainability and waste reduction.
Some points to note:

Children will receive bags in advance, fill them in at home and bring them to school on Friday morning 24th June, and drop them at designated spot
If we run out of bags, students can use their own bags, 50-60 litres plastic bags or 10 kg of clothes per bag
They accept: used clothes, paired shoes, hats, bags, gloves and other textile accessories, household textiles (curtains, bedsheets, towels)
Not accepted: clothes that are damaged, soiled or wet, textile pieces, blankets, carpets, rugs and mats
Bags are measured and a small amount (50 HUF)/kg will be transferred to the school's account afterwards, to support the Eco Club and the Garden Project
