Twelve new containers for old clothes and textile were placed in the streets of Bulgaria’s capital Sofia. The initiative is part of a national campaign aimed at popularizing the system of efficient collection and use of clothes and textile products. All collected clothes and textile materials will be later separated and the clothes which are fit for use will be used by the so-called crisis reserve. Thus, in case of disasters, the Bulgarian Red Cross is to donate clothes to the people in need. The textile material which is not good for direct use will be recycled and the money will be directed to the Fund for Supporting Victims of Disasters and Crises. The campaign started in Plovdiv in the beginning of March 2016, where over 8 tons of textiles have been collected. Another 25 containers for textile will be placed in Plovdiv and Sofia in May. The campaign will cover the cities Stara Zagora, Sliven, Burgas, as well as Northern Bulgaria by the middle of 2016.
