The scheme will be available to schools and youth organisations looking to organise collection drives.
Those who take part will have the option of either splitting the proceeds with the Salvation Army or using their half to plant trees via a collaboration with the National Forest.
The scheme is designed to educate the youth on the importance of reducing waste. 
In a statement SATCoL said: “Not only will students be actively working to combat climate change by taking part, but also the resale of these goods will help to raise vital funds for charity. The Salvation Army provide specialist support for survivors and potential victims of modern slavery, shelter for those experiencing homelessness and so much more.”
How does the scheme work?
Schools and youth organisations can sign up to the Recycle with Michael scheme now. It up to them how often and how much they donate after organising collections.
Once a donation day has been organised, SATCoL will send collection bags for pupils to fill with their unwanted clothing and shoes and bring back to school.
The organisation will also provide downloadable support materials, including posters, to help promote the scheme.
Following the donation day, an authorised collector will be sent to the school to collect the donations.
A report will then be sent confirming the donation amount with a certificate to be displayed within the institution.
If schools choose to use their half of the money raised to plant trees, they can choose between native broadleaf species at a National Forest site in either Leicestershire, Derbyshire or Staffordshire. Tree types include Oak, Silver Birch, Wild Cherry, Hornbeam, Lime, Hazel and more.
The woodland sites are accessible to the public and students will be able to visit the new trees.
