Anglo Doorstep Collections is the UK's biggest doorstep collection company, collecting charity donations of unwanted clothes and household items free, direct from our customers' homes. With over 10,000 collections every week right across the country, we make donating effortless - you simply book, pack and leave your items out, and we do the rest. Best of all, you get to choose the charity your donation supports.
We operate a large fleet of vehicles making doorstep collections across the UK, every week of the year.
We only make a collection once a booking has been placed, which keeps our routes efficient and our service as sustainable as possible – and means you can plan your charity donation in the most hassle-free way. Once you’ve booked, just pop your donations into bags or boxes and leave them outside your home on your chosen date.
We’ll email you a two-hour time slot the evening before, and on collection day you can track your driver live on the map – so there’s no waiting in, and no need to even be home. Our friendly drivers handle everything from there.
Once we’ve collected your items, they’re sorted and distributed across the UK and around the world to where they’re needed most. 95% of everything we collect is rehomed or reused, with only 5% recycled – so your donations get a genuine second life rather than ending up in landfill.
The funds raised from these items, after our running costs, are then donated to your chosen charity. It’s a simple idea that adds up to a real difference: since 2021, we’ve paid over £460,000 to UK charities and planted more than 62,000 trees.
Every item kept in circulation is one less in landfill. For every kilo of clothing we rehome, we save around 25kg of CO2 and 10,000 litres of fresh water — and with over 10,000 collections a week, that adds up to a meaningful reduction in waste, carbon and water, while supporting the circular economy.
We collect far more than clothes. From clothes, shoes and books to toys, kitchenware, small electricals, linen, bags and bric-a-brac – see the full list below. Please ensure all items are in good condition, as they’ll be rehomed. There’s no limit on bags or boxes either, so you can have a proper clear-out.
Your donations support real causes: You choose where your donation goes – Action for Children, RSPCA, Together for Short Lives or Advance – or you can plant a tree with Ecologi. To learn more about our charities, click here.
It’s genuinely convenient: We collect clothes, household items and bric-a-brac, with no limit on bags or boxes, so you can really clear out. We visit most areas regularly, and you pick the date that suits you.
It’s free and nationwide: We cover all the costs of collection and sorting, so you pay nothing. We collect across most of the UK, with new areas being added all the time.
It saves you the hassle: No lugging heavy bags to the charity shop, and no donations turned away. UK charity shops are often inundated and can’t take surplus stock – they regularly ask us to step in. Without collections like ours, much of it would end up in landfill simply because people don’t have the time, or a car, to drop it off. We make giving easy for everyone.
We’re reliable: We pride ourselves on offering the most reliable service we can – so unless something unforeseen happens, we’ll be there, rain or shine. With thousands of 5-star reviews, it’s a service you can trust.
Accredited and trusted: We’re registered with the Fundraising Regulator and are proud members of the Charity Retail Association, TRUST and the Textile Recycling Association.
