Assisted bin collections

If no member of your household is able to move your bins to the front of your property for collection, you can ask us for help.

Clothes and textile collection

You can also donate old clothes and textiles through a free, bookable assisted collection service.

We accept: 

  • clothing  
  • accessories including handbags, gloves, hats, scarves, and belts
  • linen including bedsheets, towels, and curtains 

We do not accept: 

  • duvets and pillows 
  • anything with stains/holes/rips 
  • shoes that are not in pairs 

Once collected, the clothes and textiles will be donated to the local textile charity, Traid, where items will be hand sorted and transformed into stock for charity shops. The funds raised in repurposing and selling these items are committed to global projects improving conditions and working practices in the textile industry.
