Their wording
“We are able to accept smaller donations at all our stores and we can arrange to collect larger items (e.g. furniture or white goods – fridges, washing machines etc.).”

Accepted
The recycling scheme's example ("that t-shirt") presupposes clothing donations are received; items too worn to sell are recycled rather than refused outright, indicating general clothing donations are welcomed.
Their wording
“We can recycle a wide range of items including clothing – so if you're not sure if that t-shirt is good enough to sell, we'll recycle it for you.”
