Unwanted Clothes Collection for Charity 👗👟👜

They’re a business, registered at companies house for wholesale and scrap, although I don’t doubt the various charities get some money.

Many clothes that we think are going to help in 3rd World countries are actually becoming a big big problem to them as they are getting so many that their landfill piles are fast becoming a huge worry That why I m wondering what they are doing with them …… some good ones may be used but if the rest are sent to go in landfill in another country it’s corrupt
Be interested if you can find out FC

Are they a charity or a business?

Oh dear, they collect around cities. I live in the sticks.

Ah yes, so do I

I’d contact them. You never know.
They are very helpful

Oh no. I’m sorry

I think that they are sold across various platforms.
But it’s definitely not one of those £s for weight set ups, I checked.
I did wonder where the stuff is sold myself though - I will find out in due course

Thank you for the link

You’re welcome!
It’s a really, really good service.

I had a few queries and received a prompt and helpful response.

They also email you the evening prior to the arranged day of collection to give you a time window

Thanks so much for that Fanny. And you can choose a charity - well the GSD one for me obviously! Brilliant!

Excellent! I’m pleased about that

I take heaps of stuff to the op shops ( that what they call them here ) but I have to admit I buy stuff there,too. Got a lovely carved Tasmanian wooden pear made from Tasmanian leatherwood for $3 today. I collect different carved wooden fruit dating back from when we lived there in the 1980s.

I'd love to see photos of some of your wooden fruit, nanna8. Might you post some on GN?

Thanks Fanny .Excellent idea! It says they collect from busy areas. Does that exclude rural areas do you think?
