Cash for clothes

Does anyone know if Cash for clothes places operate ATM, please? I did a car boot and was left with several bags of clothes that are probably not good enough for a charity shop. thanks

East Midlands, open here.  I took some a couple of weeks ago.  Got another couple of bags to go soon.  

Won't make me rich but better than a slap round the face with a wet haddock. 😂

That is good news. I know there is one in High Wycombe but I could not contact them, I guess I'll just have to go and see.

Hi
Alot of charity shops sell unsaleable clothes for rags.

Yes, but at the moment the local ones are not even taking in donations as they are swamped.

I take it you mean the chazzers? Places that buy rags are unlikely to refuse donations, but then they pay a pittance for what is donated back so you may not even get your petrol money back. 

Why don't you donate to a homeless shelter / stick it on Freecycle instead?

An update in case it helps anyone. The  High Wycombe C4C was open today so I managed to offload several bags at 50p a kilo.
They examined each items individually and were very picky and rejected many items which to my eyes had nothing wrong with them.

That seems a lot of faff & effort for a small reward.

I had some stuff that wasn't good enough to donate to a charity shop.

I bagged it and left it with my recycle bin - as per my council's instructions - they accept textiles & shoes in a clear plastic bag.

When they came to empty my bin, they took the bag into the cabin.
