Discover the redesigned Clothes Aid website and find the right way to book a free home, school, business, community or GNAAS clothes collection.
We have redesigned the Clothes Aid website to make it easier to find information, check what you can donate and book the collection service that suits you. Whether you are clearing out at home, organising a school collection, arranging a pickup for suitable business stock or bringing neighbours together, the new booking pages make the next step clearer.
We continue to work with our charity partners, helping turn accepted donated clothes and household items into support for important causes. Here is a guide to the collection options now available online.
Book a free home clothes collection
Our free home collection booking form is for households with unwanted clothes and accepted items to donate. Enter your contact details, address, preferred collection date and the number of bags you have. You can also choose the charity you would like your donation to support.
Before booking, please check what we collect. If you cannot be at home on the confirmed collection date, you can leave your bags in a secure, clearly described location for the driver.
School clothes collections
Our Schools Collection Programme gives schools a practical way to bring pupils, parents and staff together around reuse and fundraising. Schools can create an account, book one-off or regular collections, and view previous bookings and collection weights.
Clothes Aid pays schools £200 for every tonne collected, helping support pupils and school activities while giving unwanted clothes a second life. Collections can be arranged once per term, twice a year, once a year or whenever it works for your school community. Create a school account or book a school collection.
Business clothing and textile collections
Our Business Clothing and Textile Collections service is for organisations with suitable surplus, end-of-line or unwanted textile stock. Retailers, warehouses, manufacturers, workwear suppliers and other organisations can enquire about one-off or recurring collections.
Suitable items may include end-of-line ranges, overstock, reusable customer returns, samples, workwear, paired footwear and reusable accessories. Acceptance, collection availability and any charges depend on the stock, its condition, volume and location. Find out about business collections.
Community collections
Our Collection Champions programme helps villages, neighbourhoods and community groups combine smaller donations into one larger collection. A local Collection Champion provides a convenient collection point, lets neighbours know where to bring their donation bags, and keeps them together safely until collection day.
Community collections can be monthly, every two months, quarterly, occasional or arranged when needed. It is a simple way to coordinate a local donation point and make collection more efficient. Create a community account or book a community collection.
Supporting GNAAS
Supporters in North East England and Cumbria can use our dedicated GNAAS collection booking page to donate clothing in support of the Great North Air Ambulance Service. This dedicated route is exclusively for GNAAS supporters; for other charity choices, please use the general booking form.
