  • We run our collections on a monthly schedule. You can book in your textile waste collection at any time on our website here. Collections occur on the last Monday of every month.

  • Our pricing is based on the number of kgs that’s collected. We have different prices for the different weight packages. Please find prices below:

    • Up to 5kg = $20

    • Up to 10kg = $35

    • Up to 15kg = $45

    • Up to 20kg = $60

    • Up to 50kg = $150

  • We recommend using 1-3 boxes depending the volume you’re recycling. We understand duvets and pillows can take up a bit of space.

  • Nope. We only ask you leave your boxes in a safe and accessible place for our drivers. You’re more than welcome to write “After” onto the box to ensure a smooth collection. Please note; After does not take responsibility for boxes going missing before they are collected.

  • Don't worry, it happens to the best of us! If you forget to keep your boxes out or miss your collection day, you will need to book in another collection for the following month for a quantity of your choice. In the next collection run you've booked for, you can add your missed collection boxes to your new collection booking.

    E.g. You missed your 20kg collection in August. You can book in another collection for September for 5kg. On the September collection day, you can have your 20kg + 5kg boxes collected.

    Please contact our customer service team at hello@after.net.au to help you through this process if required.

For Business collections.

  • Consumers are demanding brands to take back responsibility for their waste and save our planet. We believe sustainable business practices are no longer a choice, but a necessity.

    Commercial sectors in Victoria make up 65% of the total textile waste produced. Globally, 85% of textile ends up in landfills. This, in addition to other negative impacts, emits 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 per year.

    By recycling with After, businesses can situate themselves within a rapidly-growing industry and act as a major player in a worldwide movement towards a circular economy.

    The time for After, is now!

    We are committed to supporting businesses dispose of their textile waste in sustainable ways, and partner with you every step of the way to ensure the process is as seamless and beneficial for all parties involved.
