About Us

We were established in 2012, when we opened one of our first Worth its Weight shops in Hersham, Surrey. Originally known as Cash 4 Clothes, our mission was to offer communities a simple way to earn cash by selling their unwanted clothes and household items that otherwise may have ended up in landfills. 

During this time we also expanded our school collections growing the number of schools we operate collections from to over 2000 per year. We have been raising funds for schools since 2013.

And then the Covid-19 pandemic hit…

About Worth its weight
Anglo doorstep collections driver collecting donations

With our shops closed, our fleet of vans stood empty and grounded. We decided to offer their use to local charities who we felt may be able to benefit from them during lockdown. This led to us helping to collect charitable donations from the doorsteps of many homes and businesses in the south of England.

And from that, the seed of Anglo Doorstep Collections was sown.

At Anglo Recycling we realised that people across the UK didn’t have a simple and efficient way to help facilitate a home clear-out and to subsequently be able to donate their unwanted clothing and items to charity.

This meant many households would simply give up, with their items ending up being discarded and ultimately being sent to landfill. This did not sit comfortably with us. So we made it our mission to become the UK’s number one, nationwide doorstep collection company.

Since its inception in 2020, Anglo Doorstep Collections has gone from strength to strength:

Anglo Recycling Keeping it Green

At Anglo Recycling, we are dedicated to recycling, reducing, and reusing those items that are no longer wanted, thereby reducing the demand for virgin resources and lessening the harmful emissions typically associated with waste management.

The benefits we make to the circular economy are significant; we play a pivotal role in keeping resources in use for as long as possible, thus extracting the maximum value from them whilst in use.

We ensure that people’s unwanted items become a resource, effectively closing the loop in the product life cycle, enhancing resource efficiency, and promoting sustainability.
