Donate Clothes for Free in the UK

Donate your pre-loved clothing with our free returns service, supporting The Salvation Army.

Donate clothes for free and give them a second life

Refreshing your wardrobe should feel good. The excitement of new favourites, and the satisfaction of knowing your old pieces will go on to do more good in the world.

Right now, over 336,000 tonnes of clothing end up in UK landfill every year. We want to help change that. Choosing to donate is a simple way to pass on clothing responsibly.

This partnership helps us look after what happens next to each item. By working with The Salvation Army, we’re helping keep clothing in use for longer, supporting communities across the UK and reducing textile waste along the way.

The goal is simple: keep as many textiles in circulation for as long as possible, and out of landfill for good.

How it works

We’ve partnered with The Salvation Army to make donating clothes in the UK completely free and simple to do. Here’s all you need to do:

Step 1: Download your free returns label using the link above

Step 2: Pack up the items you want to pass on – any brand, any condition worth wearing

Step 3: Drop your parcel at your nearest drop-off point

That’s it. No fees, no fuss – just an easy way to clear a little space while doing a lot of good.

Any Brand Welcome – Not Just BAM

You don’t need to only send back BAM kit. We’ll accept clothing from any brand.

That said, if you do return BAM items, they’re in good hands. We’ve designed our fabrics with end-of-life in mind, and our fabric compositions are fully compatible with The Salvation Army’s recycling processes. That means your BAM kit is guaranteed to avoid landfill.

For non-BAM items, The Salvation Army will always work to find the best possible next step for each piece.

What Happens to Your Clothes?

Once your parcel arrives, every item is carefully assessed by The Salvation Army. Depending on its condition, it will be:

  1. Resold to give it a new owner
  2. Recycled into new materials
  3. Remanufactured into something new
  4. Used for Energy from Waste (EFW) as a last resort – ensuring nothing is simply thrown away
