Doorstep reuse collection service

Free doorstep collections for clothes, footwear, small household and electrical items.

Residents in Bracknell Forest, Reading, and Wokingham boroughs can easily donate unwanted household items straight from their doorstep — free of charge. A new collaboration between the re3 councils and WRAP is trialling the promotion of the free service operated by Anglo Doorstep Collections (ADC), which runs independently of the councils. 

The ADC doorstep collection service is free and offers residents a convenient way to give pre-loved items a second life while supporting selected charities. Items such as clothing, shoes, small electricals, towels, and children’s toys in good condition will be reused wherever possible for their original intended purpose. For every collection, ADC makes a charitable donation to one of its partner charities and plants a tree for each booking made.

How to make a booking

1. Click the button below to schedule a collection and follow the steps onscreen. You can pick a charity to support and select a collection date
2. Put your donations into boxes or bags, ready for the collection day – please check what can or cannot be accepted
3. The night before your scheduled collection date you will get an email with a two-hour window telling you when the Anglo team will pick up your donation
4. Put your items outside your door on your collection day. There’s no need to be at home, but if you are – you can keep the items indoors and the Anglo driver will knock on your door to collect.

Collections will only be made once you have made a booking.

The Anglo service is not suitable for large bulky items, including furniture, but you can book a bulky waste collection from the Council.

The doorstep reuse collection service operated by Anglo Doorstep Collections will run separately from the council’s regular recycling and waste collections and bulky waste collection.

Anglo Doorstep Collections is registered with the Fundraising Regulator as well as being a corporate member of the Charity Retail Association. It is also a certified member of TRUST (Trader Recycling Universal Standard, for traders in second-hand clothing, textiles and household products).
