The Keelung City Environmental Protection Bureau has partnered with local clothing retailer "Miss Pork Clothing Store" to launch an old clothes recycling discount campaign from now until October 31: residents who bring eligible old clothes to the store can get NT$10 off per item on purchases, with a maximum of 5 items per person and a discount cap of NT$50.

Key Points

  • The campaign runs from now until October 31, 2026, at "Miss Pork Clothing Store," No. 9, Lane 54, Ai 2nd Road, Ren'ai District, Keelung City.
  • Recycled clothing must be clean, dry, and reusable, covering outerwear, outer pants, skirts, dresses, vests, coats, and suits.
  • Each old clothing item earns a NT$10 discount, up to 5 items per person, meaning a single person can get up to NT$50 in shopping credit.

The Environmental Protection Bureau noted that during seasonal changes or major cleanups, many households clear out clothing that is still in decent condition but no longer worn; because people are unsure of recycling channels, these items often end up thrown away as trash. This time, the bureau chose to work directly with a clothing store, setting up a dedicated old clothes recycling bin inside the shop and placing the recycling point within a daily shopping setting, making it easier for residents to send usable clothing into the reuse system.

Participating is simple: bring sorted old clothes to the above store and enjoy the discount when checking out in-store. The Environmental Protection Bureau emphasized that whether clothing can be effectively reused afterward depends on its condition; before handing items over, they should be cleaned, confirmed dry, and properly packaged to avoid moisture or dirt affecting reuse quality and to maintain the recycling environment.

Environmental Protection Bureau Director Ma Chung-hao stated that if households have old clothes that can still be used, they should follow proper recycling channels rather than discarding them at will, which can both reduce the burden of waste disposal and extend the lifespan of clothing. The Environmental Protection Bureau hopes that through this discount design, clothing retailers and residents can jointly participate in resource circulation, turning seasonal wardrobe cleaning into an opportunity to practice green living, while residents clear out their closets and save money on new clothes at the same time.
