The Keelung City Environmental Protection Bureau has partnered with local clothing retailer "Miss Pork Clothing Store" to set up a dedicated old clothing recycling bin in the store and launch an "Old Clothes for New Clothes" discount campaign from now until October 31. Members of the public who submit clean, dry, reusable old clothing can receive NT$10 off per item, with a maximum of 5 items per person and up to NT$50 in shopping credit. Accepted items include usable outerwear, trousers, skirts, dresses, vests, coats, suits, and more.

Key Points

  • This year, the Keelung City Environmental Protection Bureau has partnered with "Miss Pork Clothing Store" to set up an old clothing recycling bin in the store; the campaign runs until October 31.
  • Each recycled old clothing item earns NT$10 off, with a limit of 5 items per person and a maximum discount of NT$50, usable only for in-store purchases.
  • Accepted categories are outerwear, trousers, skirts, dresses, vests, coats, suits, etc., and items must be clean, dry, and properly packaged.

The recycling point is located at No. 9, Lane 54, Ai 2nd Road, Ren'ai District, Keelung City. The Environmental Protection Bureau explained that this cross-sector collaboration is intended to encourage private clothing retailers to participate in environmental protection, provide citizens with a more convenient channel for old clothing recycling, and prevent well-preserved clothing from being thrown into the trash during seasonal wardrobe changes or major cleanups because people are unfamiliar with recycling channels.

The Environmental Protection Bureau reminds the public to clean and organize items before handing them in, keep them dry, and package them properly in order to extend the service life of the clothing while maintaining the store environment and the efficiency of subsequent reuse.

Ma Zhonghao, Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, called on citizens to choose the correct recycling channels for reusable old clothing at home rather than discarding it casually, which both reduces the burden of waste disposal and gives old clothes a new life. The Environmental Protection Bureau hopes to use the discount incentive to promote green consumption and the circular economy and to move Keelung toward low-carbon sustainability.
