Seven schools in Rd4's region are taking part in the 2026 Textiel Race from May 18 to June 11, 2026.
The idea is simple: pupils collect old textiles from local households and earn points when those materials are reused, repaired, or recycled. According to Rd4, the winning class will receive a school trip to the Discovery Museum.
For BinSync readers, the practical part is what happens at home. If you still have unwanted clothes, shoes, or other textiles, this is a timely reminder to separate them properly instead of throwing them in residual waste.
Rd4 also highlights an important condition: textiles should be offered clean and dry. That matters because material from underground containers can become unusable when it is wet or contaminated.
The article also points to a wider habit worth keeping after the campaign ends. Reusable textiles do not belong in residual waste if they can still be collected separately, repaired, or recycled. A local collection drive like this can be a useful moment to clear out a closet and make sure those items are handled the right way.
If you live in the Rd4 area, it may be worth checking whether your neighborhood is covered by one of the participating schools and whether a home pickup can save you a separate trip.
