Why donate

Turn Pre-loved Clutter Into Something Useful

If you have toiletries, perfumes or gift sets you know will never be used, donating them helps reduce waste and provides essential products to people who need them. Many organisations can repurpose toiletries and perfumes, so nothing goes to waste.

Select a charity you’d like to support when you book your collection – and make a difference by turning your clutter into a resource for others.

Unwanted gifts

What Should You Do With Your Perfumes?

Been gifted a perfume that isn’t for you? A Christmas gift set you still haven’t opened? A third of people shove unwanted Christmas presents into cupboards never to be used again – and many of these are gift sets.

While several places accept toiletry donations, we stand out by collecting directly from your home – and we accept toiletries that are at least 50% full. Rummage through your bathroom cabinets, pack up what you don’t use and help one of our partnered charities.

Sustainability

Promoting Sustainable Habits When You Donate and Recycle

Less demand for new

Recycling and redistributing toiletries encourages sustainable habits and reduces the need for new products. We want to make gently used toiletries more popular!

Tried it once? Donate it

Lots of us buy a product and realise it’s not for us – especially skincare. We’ll collect toiletries, haircare and perfume you’ve used once and didn’t like.

A smaller footprint

Reusing items helps preserve natural resources and cuts the carbon footprint of toiletry manufacturing and transport – turning your clutter into someone else’s joy.
