About this item

Fur and fur clothing should be donated if still usable. If damaged, it can only be sorted as textile waste if clean, dry and accepted locally. Wet, mouldy, very dirty or chemically contaminated fur should go in residual waste. Real fur, faux fur and lined garments can be difficult to recycle, so local guidance matters.

If the category is not available locally

If your municipality does not collect this category at your home, you can do this.

Reuse

Alternative: Municipal recycling centre, local collection point or shared collection station. Do not automatically use residual waste.

Textile waste

Alternative: Recycling centre or municipal textile container. Only wet, mouldy or heavily soiled textiles belong in residual waste.

Residual waste

There is no general substitute category. The municipality must provide a residual-waste scheme; contact it if you cannot access one.
