Turn Unwanted Clothes into School Funds — Effortlessly
Every school needs extra funds — for books, trips, and everyday essentials. But bake sales and raffles take hours for little return, and asking parents for cash can feel uncomfortable.
With RecycleKind, your school can raise hundreds of pounds in one go — without costing families a penny.
Parents and staff simply donate unwanted clothes, and we turn them into funds for your school — quickly, safely, and with zero hassle.
What Makes RecycleKind Better?
  • Highest payout in the UK
    60p/kg on your first collection, 50p/kg after.
    (That’s about £250 per 500 kg vs £170 with most schemes.)
  • No Hassle – We Do the Work:
    No contracts. No minimums. No admin.
    We handle everything — from parent posters to on-site weighing — and finish in about 20 minutes, without disrupting lessons or adding work for your team.
  • Local & Reliable
    We’re a local team based in the South East of England — not a national call centre. You’ll always speak directly with us, and our drivers know your area and community.
    That’s why schools trust us to arrive on time, every time.
  • Next-day payment & full transparency.
    Bags are weighed on-site; your team sees the total before we go.
  • Eco-Friendly Impact:
    Nothing goes to landfill — everything is reused or recycled responsibly.
    Your students learn about sustainability and community support.
  • A Little Thank-You
    Every school that partners with us is automatically entered into our quarterly draw to win 50 brand-new children’s books for their library — a fun bonus and our way of saying thank you for making a difference.

A Personal Note to Headteachers
“
Dear Headteacher,

We understand you have countless priorities competing for your time. That’s why we’ve made this as simple as possible: one short booking, ready-made materials, and next-day payment. You’re already doing valuable work for your school, and we’re here to ensure you’re paid fairly for it.
— The RecycleKind Team
Real Schools, Real Results
Samantha T.
PTA Chair, Hampshire
Everything went so smoothly — it took just about 20 minutes to load and weigh nearly 700 kg! We were really impressed with how quick and well organised the whole process was, and even more so that the payment arrived the very next day. Brilliant service all round — thank you!
Claire W.
Office Manager, Reading
No forms, no contracts, no containers. They just came, collected the bags, weighed them, and paid us. So simple.

Mr. Patel.
Headteacher, Surrey
We were amazed how smoothly everything went. Parents brought in bags and RecycleKind picked them up exactly at the agreed time — and the money (£486) was in our account the next day!
— Jane R.
PTA Treasurer, Berkshire
Our PTA usually struggles to get volunteers, but this was the easiest fundraiser we’ve ever done. No contracts, no storage issues, just a simple collection.
£182
Small school? No space? No problem.
We can collect from a parent’s house, a community hall, or another local drop-off point.
And it’s not just schools:
nurseries, scout groups and other community organisations can also book a free collection and raise funds the easy way.

A medium-sized school can collect around 1.5 tonnes of clothes per year.
