After collection

Where Do Your Bed Sheets, Linen & Towels Go?

We bring your donations to our warehouse, where everything is carefully sorted and repackaged – plastic bags are reused as padding and cardboard boxes are recycled responsibly.

Your items then go where they’re needed most. Some stay in the UK to be re-homed locally, while others travel to places like Africa, South America and South East Asia, where they’re sold at affordable prices to people who can’t easily buy them new. The proceeds help support our partner charities.

★★★★★

From beginning to end this was a smooth process. Website is excellent advising the charities they donate to and what Anglo will accept as donations. Booking a pick up is slick and keeps donators advised of time of pick up in real time. When I can I will use Anglo Collections.

★★★★★

I really appreciated the fact that I was given a two hour time slot the night before and that I was also able to accurately track how near the driver was on the day. The driver was polite and helpful. All in all a great experience.
