The setting up of a 'Phil' the Bag collection, the special 'Phil' the Bag sacks, the actual collection and all associated administration is totally FREE.

And furthermore you may organise as many collections as you wish during the year so there is no limit to how much money you can raise for your school! We recommend a summer and winter collection or if you really want to boost school funds, why not have a collection each term?

We also offer an exciting Book Token Incentive to reward schools efforts to raise money. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 schools at the end of the school year.

       Follow your progress on the Schools Leaderboard!

Call us on 01795 424404/425333 and we will advise you on available dates for collection in your area.

Storage of the bags is not an issue as our trained collectors will be waiting at the designated place at a mutually agreed time and the bags are loaded directly onto the van.

Stickers will be given to all participating children as both a reward for their effort and also to prompt the children to think about the significance of textile recycling and re-using on both a local and global scale.

These textiles are then sold on and distributed to people who can use and enjoy them in developing countries, which at the same time saves our environment from the burden of further resources going to landfill. 

As well as being a member of the Textile Recycling Association, we are strictly governed by licensing regulations and we adhere to the Institute of Fundraising codes of practice.

What do we collect?

We collect all types of unwanted textiles including: All kinds of clothing; Shoes; Bags; Belts; Hats; Curtains; Towels; Bedding. 

Items are accepted in any condition as those that cannot be reused are recycled into wipers.

Please be advised we are happy to accept your collection items in other bag types.
