iCollectClothes: charity clothing collection in the UK

iCollectClothes is a charity clothing collection service operating in major UK cities. It allows residents to donate used clothes and small household items to raise funds for the charity of the donor's choice. The service is provided free of charge.

The company presents itself as a way to give clothes a second life under the slogan "Donate, Reuse, Recycle", preventing unwanted textiles from ending up as waste. The website displays a cumulative counter of funds raised which, at the time of analysis, amounted to £1,936,996.00.

How donating works

The process combines online booking with leaving items outside the home. The donor selects the charity they wish to support, books a collection through the website and leaves the clothes outside to be collected. The company sums up this procedure with the phrase "book online, leave it outside".

Donations are not limited to clothing: small household items are also accepted. Collection is free for the donor and no specific charity is required, as there is an option to donate without a preference for a particular cause.

Partner charities

The service works with a group of partner charities from which the donor can choose. The website lists the following:

• HEART UK
• Colostomy UK
• Troop Aid
• Remus Horse Sanctuary
• AFK - Working With Disability
• Luosko GSD Rescue
• Kidney Care UK
• Cherry Trees
• Anaphylaxis UK
• Leukaemia Care Fund
• Sussex Cancer Fund

In addition to these charities, the platform offers the option to donate without a preference, so that the collection is assigned without a specific cause selected by the donor.

Contact and management

The company operates through the website icollectclothes.co.uk and handles enquiries by phone and email. The responsible company is listed as Icollectclothes Limited.
