Every year Care and Give Collections divert over 750,000 kilos of waste from landfill.

We work with around 300 sites across Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Gloucester, Hereford, Worcester and Salisbury collecting used clothing and shoes, making regular collections in our uniformed vans and bringing them back to our base in Frampton Cotterell.

We collect:

• Clothing

• Paired Shoes

• Handbags and belts

• Bedsheets, duvets covers and pillow cases

• Soft toys

We cannot accept:

• Wet, damaged, stained, or washed-out-clothes

• Pillows, Cushions and duvets

• Books

• Bric-a-brac

• Electrical items

• General Rubbish

The clothing and shoes that you donate are destined to be sent to parts of Africa and the Middle East, providing affordable clothing and work for local people in those countries. As all our items are to be re-used, it is important that they are in a useable condition when they are donated.
