Host a collection drive

A short collection run by your school, masjid, workplace or building. You provide the people and the space; we provide everything else and take it away at the end.

How it works

  1. 1

    You pick the dates and what to collect

    A week or two works better than a month. Fewer categories means a cleaner haul.

  2. 2

    We send bins, posters and bags

    Free. They usually arrive within a few days of us confirming.

  3. 3

    Your community fills them

    Put the bins somewhere people already walk past, and keep them indoors.

  4. 4

    We collect at the end

    One pickup, arranged around you. We tell you what came of it.

What we ask of you

  • Keeping donations dry and indoors for the length of the drive.
  • Telling participants what we can and cannot take — the posters do most of this.
  • Having somewhere a van can pull up on collection day.
  • Letting us know if the dates move.

Start your drive

This takes about three minutes. We confirm supplies and the final pickup before you start.
