your
clothes,
our planet.
Two in five Hong Kongers discard their clothes after a year or less.1 Many of them will end up in landfill, where we send 388 tonnes of textiles daily in Hong Kong, of which 50% is estimated to be clothing! 2
Since 2018, Get Redressed Month has been Hong Kong’s largest consumer awareness campaign about circular fashion. This May, with the theme ‘Your Clothes, Our Planet’, Get Redressed Month 2024 invites Hong Kong consumers to rethink the relationship between themselves, clothing, and the environment and discover more sustainable ways to embrace fashion in their daily lives. Join us in shifting attitudes and habits towards sustainable clothing consumption!

Give your Clothes a new life
Are clothes you no longer wear piling up in your closet? Give them new life through Redress! During the month of May, we will have 70 clothing collection locations available for you to drop off your unwanted clothing. All the clothing collected throughout May will then be carefully sorted during the Sort-a-Thon for resale (10–15%), charity (50–60%), and downcycling (10–20%), granting them a fresh lease on life.
We accept clothes in any condition, but please note that we do not take:
Shoes
Uniforms
Home Textiles (e.g. towels, bedsheets, pillows)
Plastic/Paper Bags
Find your nearest clothing collection location today and give your unwanted clothes a new life!
