Crawley is a town built around movement and connection — home to Gatwick Airport and a network of distinct neighbourhoods stretching from Three Bridges to Pound Hill. For residents living right across this area, We Have Partnered with Crawley Borough Council charity collections are already active and completely free to use. Anglo Doorstep Collections holds a confirmed working partnership with Crawley Borough Council, which means every household in the borough can arrange a doorstep pick-up of unwanted reusable items — clothing, books, footwear, kitchenware and more — without paying a penny or leaving home.

What Happens on Your Collection Day

The process has been kept deliberately simple so that any resident across Crawley can use it without fuss. Here is exactly how a collection unfolds from your perspective:

1. Book your slot online. Use the booking form to choose a date that suits you — the whole process takes a couple of minutes.
2. Pack your items. Place your unwanted goods into bags or sturdy boxes. Coats, jackets, jeans, dresses, books, toys, bags and similar items are all welcome.
3. Leave everything outside on the day. Put your packed bags on your doorstep or at the front of your property before the driver arrives — you do not need to be in.
4. Our driver does the rest. Collections are carried out by Anglo Doorstep Collections operatives, who route every item directly into reuse markets rather than disposal streams.

Why Crawley Borough Council Backs Doorstep Reuse

Within the waste hierarchy, reuse sits above recycling — because extending the life of an item avoids the energy and resources needed to process or replace it. Crawley Borough Council’s support for this service reflects a commitment to reducing waste, improving reuse rates and engaging residents in responsible consumption at a practical, household level. By directing unwanted but still-usable items away from disposal routes, residents across Crawley are contributing to circular economy objectives that benefit the whole community. Cardigans, sweaters, children’s books, kitchenware, footwear — every item collected is one that does not end up as waste.

• Reduces pressure on disposal infrastructure
• Increases measurable reuse rates across the borough
• Supports Crawley Borough Council’s circular economy and environmental objectives
• Encourages responsible consumption habits among residents
• Generates funds for charitable causes and community projects
