About Us

ECS Textiles is a company based in the North East of England. We redistribute used clothing all over the world.

We are one of the largest textile recycling companies in the UK. Every year we collect, sort and redistribute over 200 million garments, avoiding waste and ensuring these items are given a new life.

We offer a range of collection services to suit everyone’s recycling needs:

Door to door collections

The easiest way to give is to book a collection on Collect4All. You choose the charity, we agree a day with you, and we come to your door. No plastic bag is needed.

You may still get a charity bag through your door from one of our collection partners. Fill it with good-quality clothes and leave it outside your front door by 8am on the day marked on the bag. It is collected between 8am and 4pm, and the clothes come to ECS Textiles to be sorted.

Items we accept:

• T-shirts
• Jumpers
• Scarves
• Jumpsuits
• Dresses
• Skirts
• Jeans
• Jackets
• Paired shoes
• Hats
• Belts
• Jewellery
• Cosmetics
• Toys
• Small electrical items

House Clearance

Whether you are moving house or have had a recent bereavement, our friendly team will help you remove any pre-loved items with care.

Please note: there may be a charge for this service, depending on the job. Call us on 0330 380 1125 for a price.

Funds For Schools

The purpose of this scheme is to help educate and raise awareness of the importance of textile recycling, keeping items of value out of landfill sites because of the time these items take to break down and the harm they do to the environment.

Collection Scheme: ECS Textiles provides your nursery, school or college with promotional materials to share with pupils and staff to encourage donations on a specific day – We will then collect free of charge and this will generate funds for your nursery, school or college. Payment will be made within 2 working days after the collection day.

Additionally, we can offer a textile recycling bank: this will be a more permanent fixture for textile recycling over a longer time. We can provide a free textile recycling bank with your nursery, school or college logo. We pay you £200 per ton of good-quality items donated.

If you are interested in either of these two schemes please contact our friendly team on 0330 380 1125

We are always looking to work with more businesses. Business users can choose a convenient collection day, and we make a bank transfer directly to you within two working days.
