About Us
What Can I Donate?
We’d love all your clean pre-loved adults and children’s clothes as well as shoes in pairs. Underwear and socks are welcome, as are accessories like belts and handbags. We also collect curtains and bedding (provided it’s in a good condition) as well as soft toys, perfumes, small bric-a-brac items and ornaments.
Please don’t include soiled or dirty clothes. We’re also not able to take large bric-a-brac items, duvets, pillows, plastic toys, electrical items, CD’s and DVD’s or furniture.
How Does The Collection Service Work?
Charities & Environment
Your dedicated driver takes your clothes to our warehouse, where they’ll be checked, weighed and sorted, with all the details communicated in a comprehensive report to your chosen charity. Then we export them to Europe, Asia or Africa, giving them a second home and ensuring they don’t end up as landfill. And your chosen charity receives the proceeds.
