    You give away your pre-loved items and our responsibility is to recycle them and prepare them for reuse. The main aim is to keep as much clothing as possible away from landfill and incineration!

    Whenever you want a collection, complete a ‘request for collection’ through the app and we will come to pick them up. Based on the amount and quality of the clothes collected, ECS Textiles can support charities financially. The more we collect, the more we can give!

  • What is the ‘Collect4All’ app?

    Collect4All is a greener and innovative way of item collections. Usual way of collections starts with thousands of manufactured plastic bags being posted through your door. Then drivers are driving around in the streets looking for a full bag from your home. This type of collections has a huge environmental impact due to manufactured plastic bags, shipping and carbon emissions. That is why we created Collect4All.

    Using the app, we can reduce environmental impact: no need to manufacture and post thousands of plastic bags and the driver knows the exact address of bag collections. Using the app, we not only keep clothes out of landfill but also support those in need while becoming more environmentally friendly and saving our planet. Read more here.
