Declutter with Anglo Doorstep Collections

Anglo Doorstep Collections

We’ve recently teamed up with Anglo Doorstep Collections, who provide a free doorstep collection service for preloved reusable clothes, shoes, and small household items. The service is completely free, and boxed up items can either be handed directly to the collector or left outside if you’re not at home.

Items they can collect include:

  • Clothing, shoes and accessories
  • Kitchenware, crockery and cutlery
  • Books
  • Toys and soft toys
  • CDs and DVDs
  • Small electricals and gadgets
  • Bed sheets, linen and towels
  • Antiques and ornaments

Please note: This service is not suitable for large or bulky items such as furniture, mattresses, or bicycles. For these, please use our bulky item collection service, or check with local charities if they can collect larger items like furniture or white goods, local furniture reuse charities are listed on our website.

Anglo Doorstep Collections successfully rehome around 95% of donations, with the remaining 5% recycled. Approximately 60% of proceeds are then shared with their partner charities, supporting good causes.

Booking your free collection is simple:

  1. Book your free doorstep collection online: Anglo Doorstep Collections - Charity Collections
  2. Pack your donations into bags or boxes ready for collection
  3. Label them “Anglo Doorstep Collections” and leave them outside, or track the collector and hand items over directly
  4. Your donations are then rehomed or, if this isn’t possible, responsibly recycled
