5 Places In Klang Valley That Will Recycle Your Old, Tattered Clothing

Established in 2013, the Port Klang-based factory can be identified by their large, white donation boxes.

The factory also accepts shoes, bags, and linen in addition to clothing. Items in good condition are exported to be sold as secondhand clothing, while unwearable items are cut up into rags to be sold to industries as cleaning cloths.

Additionally, part of their proceeds go towards funding programmes by local non-governmental organisations.
