I need enlightenment on:
FABRIC RECYCLING. Mostly unwearable, but clean clothes, beyond charity shop use ( ie with an odd stain, broken zip or rip-yes, I know I should be mending them...)
CHEMICALS. I think there are a few collections per year around the City in mobile units. Other than listed in the Echo etc, is there an online list ?
BATTERIES. I haven't seen battery collection boxes in supermarkets here. Was it only a school initiative ? If it's a UN directive, why aren't they in Tesco etc, or am I just unobservant?
Thanks.

Chaos, as regards the batteries, as far as i know all the Tesco's have these, if they don't ask about them.
Chemicals: Contact your local County Council

Clothes: What about clothes banks ? Anything that's not in good enough condition to be worn is recycled for industrial cleaning rags as far as I know.
Hope this helps you.
