Take Back Scheme
What do we accept?
We accept all home textiles (including quilts and pillows), as well as clothing, shoes and accessories (e.g. hats, scarves). Just remember, we can only accept clean, bagged textiles, but it’s fine if they’re ripped or torn.
*Not available in Basildon, Bracknell, Carmarthen, Crawley, Feltham, Jersey, Kidderminster Kingston, Leeds Thorpe Park, Llanelli, Loughborough, Scarborough, Solihull, Trowbridge, Wandsworth, Westfield and Yeovil.
How does it work?
- Wrap or bag your pre-loved textiles.
- Place them into one of our designated drop off points at a participating store.
- Your textiles get sorted and then either reused or repurposed to give them another life.
What happens next?
Our goal is to extend the life of products and reduce waste, either through reuse or repurposing. All contributions are given another life, ensuring that they stay in circulation for as long as possible.
How it works

And that’s not all…

Frequently asked questions
What items can I put in the textile takeback?
We’re happy to accept any clean home textiles (including quilts and pillows), as well as clothing, shoes and accessories (e.g. hats, scarves).
Do the textiles have to be clean?
Yes please - we’d like only clean items. This way, we can ensure that as much as possible gets reused or repurposed, as part of a more circular economy. Soiled items should not be donated.
What if my textiles are ripped?
That is totally fine; we will still accept them.
Do the textiles have to be bagged?
Yes please. This is really important, because it means it is much easier to manage for our colleagues in store. Please ensure all textiles all bagged up before bringing them to the takeback drop off points in store.
What happens to my textiles after they’ve been donated?
After textiles get dropped off to our stores, they are sent onto our partner to sort. We work to ensure returned items are reused or repurposed wherever feasible, helping to keep them in use for as long as possible.
