Add a comma to the first sentence to separate the subordinate clause from the main clause

Recycling your clothes
When talking about recycling people don't seem to consider the recycling of clothing.Unwanted clothing dumped in the bin ends up in landfill along with the rest of your rubbish .It is a terrible waste not to pass on your unwanted clothing to a charity .Most charities have shops in your local highstreet. It is really easy to take your discarded clothes to be recycled. Charities can post collection bags and make door to door collections for your unwanted items. Watchout forun scrupulous businesses that make collections and then keep any profits for themselves.You shouldn't just throw away your old clothes because you think they're toothreadbare tore sell.Clothes that are too worn to be sold can be shredded and reprocessed in to new items.

That should be where you put a comma, hope I helped.

The comma should be placed between the first use of recycling and people. The subordinate clause is "when talking about recycling". This is a clause because of the word "when". When makes the reader wonder when what? The main clause is "people don't seem to consider the recycling of clothing."
