What We Collect

Bag2Charity offers a free doorstep collection service for a wide range of donated items. Whether you're clearing out a wardrobe, sorting through the kids' old toys, or having a full home declutter — if it's in good condition, we'll take it. Everything we collect is reused or recycled, raising funds for our charity partners and keeping usable items out of landfill. Before your collection, make sure everything is packed in a bag or box. Fragile items should be wrapped. We can't collect loose items.
