    Help setting up a clothes recycling centre

    hi all,

    something im thinking about but dont know much about.
    how does this recycling clothes work? where do they end up etc, local companies are 60p a kg, so surely they must get a good bit of profit on that, ive heard most of it ends up in africa, so does this mean the african goverment pay or something?

    clueless....

    I'm not sure but I do know one thing. Don't f**king even think of posting one of those clothes collection plastic bags through my door. The amount I get is ridiculous.

    Presumably this is a business venture? If it is, you may want to know there is no 'african goverment'. Africa, as I assume you are referring, is a continent. It is made up of many governments.

    I'd opt for a GCSE in Geography before launching any business.

    The business excuse is just to thinly veil his massive panty sniffing fetish.
