Easy Way to Reuse Your Clothes and Household Items

Clothes Collector makes donating simple across Chorley. We offer a free doorstep collection service for clean, reusable clothes and household items. Everything we collect is sorted and prepared for reuse, with many items finding a new home through second-hand outlets instead of going to landfill.

When getting your items ready, please group them like this:

  • Clothing & Footwear
  • Books & Media
  • Everything else (e.g toys, electrical items etc)
