Anglo Recycling was established in 2012, when we opened our first Worth its Weight - Cash 4 Clothes shop in Hersham, Surrey. Originally known as Cash 4 Clothes, our mission was to offer communities a simple way to earn cash from the sale of their unwanted clothes and household items that otherwise may have ended up in landfill.
During this time we also expanded our schools collections growing the number of schools we collect from to over 2000 per year. We have been raising funds for schools since 2013.
With our shops closed, our fleet of vans stood empty and grounded, so we decided to offer their use to local charities who we felt may be able to benefit from them during lockdown. This led to us helping to collect charitable donations from the doorsteps of many homes and businesses in the south of England.
And from that, the seed of Anglo Doorstep Collections was sown.
We realised that people across the UK didn’t have a simple and efficient way to help facilitate a home clear-out and to subsequently be able to donate their unwanted clothing and items to charity.
This meant many households would simply give up, with their items ending up being discarded and ultimately being sent to landfill. This did not sit comfortably with us. So we made it our mission to become the UKs number one, nationwide doorstep collection company.
