About this item

PVC rainwear should be donated if still usable. If broken, it must not go in plastic recycling because PVC needs special handling and can disturb recycling of other plastics. Take it to a recycling centre or follow local guidance. If wet, mouldy or very dirty, residual waste may be the local solution.
