Why use it

Worth knowing why this matters in Lisbon specifically: the city's own waste regulation does not mention textiles at all, and the council provides no clothing container. So the street containers you see are run by organisations like this one, not by the câmara. They take clothing, footwear and home textiles, and you can also drop things at any of their Lisbon or Porto shops. They publish no condition criteria and no refusal list, so use judgement. Anything genuinely unusable is better dealt with as waste than left beside a container.

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

What happens to it

  • Donated to an organisation that will use it
  • Put back into use

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
