Clothing collections
We are working with Anglo Recycling to provide a doorstep collection scheme for your unwanted clothing, footwear, textiles, bric-a-brac, toys, CDs and more.

How to book a collection
Use the link at the top of the page to make a booking and for more information on the service.
Booking a collection is easy - then all you will need to do is bag or box up your items suitably, ready to be collected.
How your items are collected
You can leave your items on your doorstep on collection day, but if you would prefer to keep them inside then the driver will come to your front door.
When you make a booking, there is a notes section where you can include any necessary information.
Please do not contact West Northamptonshire Council directly regarding Anglo’s charity collections. All collections are arranged, managed and made by Anglo Doorstep Collections. No collection information is held by us.
Collecting large goods or furniture
The Anglo service is not suitable for large goods or furniture. However, our Bulky waste collection service can help with larger items.
