How it works
Book
Pick a date in the ReSmart app or on the web. Pay per pickup, or use your council's subsidised pickups where they apply.
Bag it
Clothes, shoes, bags and accessories, in good or poor condition, as long as they’re clean. Bed linen and pillows go in too.
Leave it out
Put your items at your door on pickup day. Our driver collects them with anything else you’re recycling, and you can see where it all ends up.
What happens to your clothes and textiles
We work alongside our approved partners to find the best solution for every item: reusing first, then recycling. Wearable clothes are donated to local charities, so they get a second life instead of ending up in landfill.
Textile recycling in Sydney: FAQs
Where can I recycle clothes and textiles in Sydney?
From your own doorstep. ReSmart picks up clothes and textiles across 30 Sydney councils, listed above, together with your soft plastics and e-waste and other hard-to-recycle items. There is no drop-off point to drive to: book a pickup and leave your clothes and textiles out. Check your address on where we collect.
How much does a ReSmart pickup cost?
ReSmart pickups start from $19. If your council subsidises ReSmart, pickups can be free or discounted. You see your exact price when you book.
What clothes and textiles do you take?
Clothes and accessories in good or poor condition, as long as they’re clean: shirts, jeans, jackets, dresses, kids’ clothes, shoes, bags, belts and hats. Bed linen and pillows too. As with everything we collect, they just need to be dry: nothing wet or mouldy. See the full list.
Which Sydney councils subsidise ReSmart pickups?
Sutherland Shire, Ku-ring-gai, Randwick, North Sydney, Ryde, Camden, Mosman, Waverley, Burwood and Hunters Hill partner with ReSmart so residents get council-subsidised pickups; the details and conditions are on where we collect.
What else can go in the same pickup in Sydney?
We collect everything, as long as it’s not wet, organic or dangerous. Soft plastics, textiles, e-waste, cardboard, polystyrene, batteries, light bulbs and the other misfit items all go in one booking, from one doorstep, wherever we pick up in Australia. See the full list of what we pick up.
What happens to clothes and textiles in Sydney after pickup?
Wearable clothes are donated to local charities. Everything else goes to our approved partners to be reused or recycled into yarn or insulation, not to landfill. What happens to your items.
Can businesses in Sydney get clothes and textiles picked up?
Yes. Offices and cafes use the Office Pack, and businesses with larger volumes use a Commercial Pack with a textiles stream, for things like old uniforms and offcuts, with a dashboard that reports what was collected.
