2223-0164 Textiles Concession

Islington Council has textile containers from a designated supplier placed in areas of high footfall across the borough on both public and estate land. Primarily, this is to reduce the volume of textiles in the waste stream and divert this resource to recycling and reuse. The Council gives the contractor the right to locate, maintain and collect from designated textile banks from agreed locations within Islington. Through a services concession contract between the supplier and the council, the textile containers also generate income for the council based on a revenue share of the price per tonne of collected textiles.
