Adur and Worthing Council has placed waste prevention and reuse firmly at the heart of its environmental strategy — and Charity Collections For Adur and Worthing Council residents now have a straightforward, free way to act on those same values at home.

No trips to a charity shop, no van hire, no cost — just a convenient booking and a driver who comes to you.
Completely. Adur and Worthing Council charity collections through Anglo Doorstep Collections carry no charge whatsoever — the service is funded through the reuse market, so residents never pay a penny.
Anglo Doorstep Collections sends a trained driver directly to your home on the day you choose. There is no need to drop anything off at a depot or collection point.
Every item collected is routed into reuse markets — extending its useful life, supporting charitable causes and keeping goods out of disposal routes. Reuse sits above recycling in the waste hierarchy, meaning it represents the most resource-efficient outcome for any unwanted item still fit for purpose.
Adur and Worthing Council supports reuse because extending the life of household goods directly reduces environmental impact, lowers demand for new resources and advances the circular economy objectives the council has committed to. Partnering with Anglo Doorstep Collections gives residents a practical, accessible route to contribute — from their own doorstep.
The service covers a wide range of everyday household items. Among the most commonly donated are clothing — from coats and jackets to shirts, jeans, cardigans and hoodies — alongside footwear, books, bags, accessories, linen and towels, toys and games, and CDs, DVDs and games. The full list of accepted categories is shown below.
