Or enter your postcode and select a collection date.
Our free charity clothing collection service runs weekly across 22+ postcode areas in the UK. Every item we collect is reused or recycled, and the proceeds go directly to your chosen charity partner. Collections run between 8am and 5pm — you don't need to be home.
Schedule a collection by entering your postal code.
Leave the bags outside from 8am on the arranged date and we’ll collect.
We will donate the proceeds to the charity of your choice.
Our organisation partners with distinguished and highly regarded UK charities. By collecting second-hand clothes, we provide charities without a network of charity shops or the resources to process such donations, with an alternative means of raising funds. Furthermore, we offer a hassle-free and convenient option for individuals who wish to donate clothes, which is of great importance to our charity partners.

We can accept good condition: adults, children’s and baby clothes, shoes, handbags, bras, hats, belts, curtains, towels and bed linen (but no duvets or pillows please, sorry). We also accept bric-a-brac; such as antiques, clocks, kitchenware, musical instruments, ornaments, pictures, books, sports equipment, tools, toys, soft toys, and utensils.
We typically visit areas every 1-2 weeks, although this can vary. If you would like to know about the next collection in your area, visit our Book A Collection page.
After collecting your donation, we transport it to one of our warehouses where it is weighed. This process enables us to determine how much money will be donated to the charity that you have chosen to support.
These donations are then transported via trucks to the least economically developed countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, South-East Asia, and the Middle East. Once they arrive, the donated items are sold at affordable prices to benefit the local communities.
After our costs have been covered, we allocate a contracted percentage of profits to each of our partner charities, ranging from 75% to 95%.
If you need to cancel your collection or have made a mistake, please don't hesitate to contact us at 01609 780 452 or info@bag2charity.co.uk
