Yes, I just spoke to somebody at Oxfam who said they will take old bras, and if the shop cannot sell them they send them to a fabric bank, a company called Waste Savers. If they won’t take them you can ask them to call up the Oxfam head office and ask about the fabric bank programme.

I checked with the lady at the local Oxfam store who said no they don’t do this. I heard that you can give your old underwear (bras an nickers), bras go to Africa and knickers are recycled at a fabric bank. I think all Oxfam employees need to know if this is still a going concern or if it has been stopped. I hope not as its a good cause.

If its still in good condition why not just add some material to it to make a top to wear?

There was a programme on Radio 4 about the oxfam sorting place and they said that underwear gained the most money for their causes because underwear requires some skill and many components to be made properly so difficult to make yourself (but not impossible – I have seen somewhere a woman who makes pants from her old teeshirts) They sell them because there is already a second hand clothing economy in Africa and wherever they sell them and if they went in handing out bras etc willy-nilly the whole economy would collapse.

I am amazed women wonder what to do with old bra’s.

The answer is sell them, old bras are in demand and are often hard to find since I guess people prefer to throw them away or give to charity.

I would say ebay but they started treating it as adult stuff so ban the adverts.

Use them for scarecrows’ clothing. If our town can make a Chuck Norris scarecrow, I don’t see why you couldn’t have a ‘burlesque’ one!

I just wrote a blog today about 5 neat ideas for reusing old bras. My favorite is to make a purse! Look at my blog and let me know if you have any more ideas.

Recycling old bras? A guy might be interested in getting them although he won’t admit it. I think it would be embarrassing for a guy to buy bras in a store filled with employees and customers. It would make more sense for him to get bras from one woman and minimize his discomfort. So bag them all up and give them to a guy who would like them. Or you could just wrap them up individually and give them to men as gifts.

They make good support for ripening fruit/veg like tomatos or grape fruits. Just hang them on the branches so they cradle the fruit in the cups.

Donate them to charity! If they are in good condition send them here http://www.breasttalk.co.uk/bra-appeal/ and they will be distributed to homeless women in the UK or overseas to countries where the cost of a bra can be too expensive for many women.

As a sales assistant in La Senza this same problem has also got me thinking. We did do a promotion last year where you could donate any old bras to the store and each gave you a chance to win a Ford Ka, but that’s not really recycling!!! I’ll get thinking about this.
P.S Your website is a really useful find. Thanx!
