Cash 4 Clothes

alan2011

I know the owner of the company that collects these clothing and if you would like to hear more about the company just email them they will answer any of your questions. They are a business and have been around for a long time.

There is no mention of any charity on the leaflet, I assumed it was for their own profit. The amount of money I will make will be small, but its for my children to save rather than donating to a charity shop for nothing. There are quite a few pairs of shoes in the bags which adds weight.

did you get the bags collected and were there any problems?

All straight forward, no problems.

This thread is very interesting, we have just received a leaflet from cash4clothes today stating that they will give £5 per 10 kilos (a black binbag) If it is that straightforward I might consider it.

They have opened a shop in Darlington where you can take your clothes to cash them in. I suppose it's one rung up from dealing on your doorstep!

There's a company that has a shop doing this in Grays, Essex.
Don't know if it's the same comapny though.

My neighbour and I did this last week, they wouldn't take bedding or curtains, but I got £7 for clothes that were too small for my DS2 and my neighbour got £10 for clothes that were too small for her children.

A lot of charities also make their money this way (and sell on all the scrap clothes by the kg), so basically they're a company taking from charities for their own profit!

I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, and charities can happily have my clothes to sell in their shops or sell for scrap.

(and believe me, I bet they'll route through all your clothes and sell anything decent on their ebay shop!)

Oxfam cuts out the middle man and operates its own own recycling plant where they process all the unsellable textiles. They make a big profit from it.

Oxfam's recycling plant has - incidently - just been the victim of a large fire
