Thank you for your interest in discarding textile waste responsibly and supporting the livelihoods of waste pickers in Bengaluru! You can drop off your textile waste at one of the 16 Dry Waste Collection Centre (DWCC) nearest to you.
DWCCs will accept:
• All kinds of old textiles, including linen and curtains
• Torn and stained clothes
Old textiles have to be CLEAN (washed and dry) | NO undergarments please
⏰ Timings: 9:00 am – 5:30 pm
📅 Days: Monday to Saturday
📍 DWCC location: see map below
Hasiru Dala Helpline: 97417 30854
We’d love to see your contribution—feel free to share photos and tag us on Instagram (@saamuhikashakti) or X (@saamuhikashakti) when you drop off your waste so we can celebrate your action and inspire others to do the same!
As part of the Saamuhika Shakti project, our implementing partners—Circular Apparel Innovation Factory (CAIF), Enviu, Hasiru Dala, and Sambhav Foundation—work collaboratively to create a value chain for post-consumer textile waste in Bengaluru. This initiative not only enables livelihood opportunities for waste pickers but also contributes to positive environmental outcomes.
The 16 Dry Waste Collection Center (DWCCs) mapped—along with their locations, the names of the DWCC operators, and contact numbers—are centres that actively collect textile or cloth waste in Bengaluru.
Alternatively, the used clothes and textile waste can also be given to the Textile Recovery Facility. If there is a substantial amount, call the Hasiru Dala helpline to schedule a pick.
Before dropping off the used clothes, do ensure they are washed and dry. While torn and faded clothes are accepted, undergarments are not.
