About this item
Shower curtains usually go in residual waste, especially if plastic-coated, PVC or mouldy. Clean dry textile curtains may be accepted as textile waste locally. Remove metal rings if easy.
If the category is not available locally
If your municipality does not collect this category at your home, you can do this.
Residual waste
There is no general substitute category. The municipality must provide a residual-waste scheme; contact it if you cannot access one.
Textile waste
