Can you recycle curtains & cushion covers?
Curtains are strong charity-shop sellers and reuse networks want them for furnishing move-on homes. Worn ones go to textile banks as rags. Curtain hooks and rings off first (metal ones to scrap).
Which bin does it go in?
Charity shops sell them well; textile banks take tired ones.
Before throwing it away, see reuse, repair and donation routes.
