Where Can I Recycle.....My Bra?

If you have bras that you don't wear any more, you may be wondering what to do with them. Most charity shops will only sell underwear that is unworn and still has the labels on it.

However you can donate used bras to the Breasttalk.co.uk Bra Appeal, who are donating bras to charities in the UK and overseas. They will distribute them to various charities, and any useable bras that are donated will go to help homeless and under privileged women in the UK and overseas.

They can also make use of any damaged bras that you have. These are recycled into quilts which are donated to homeless charities and are also used by the emergency services to keep victims or people suffering shock warm. So total recycling!

They can use nearly all types of bra:

All Sizes, even US or European.
All styles of bras but not too sexy.
All clasps and straps must be in working order unless sending worn/torn bras.
All types of bra, maternity, nursing, sports etc…

They ask that you please wash all bras before you post them.and that you attach a small piece of paper to each bra stating the size. Use a paper clip to fix it to one of the straps. If you are sending new bras please let them know that they are new. All worn or torn bras can be sent in, but need to be marked on the label in pen for sorting purposes.

Your donated bras should be sent to:
BreastTalk.co.uk — Bra Appeal
P.O. Box 71
Craven Arms
SY7 0WZ
ENGLAND
