This page is for you, not donors. Two things live here: keeping your own listing accurate, and turning stock you can't shift into money instead of landfill.
Most shops on this directory have been visited in person; any that haven't yet are clearly labelled "visit pending," sourced directly from your own listing rather than guessed at. If anything's changed since — opening hours, what you're desperate for, what you've had to stop taking — find your shop on the directory and use "Suggest a change" on your listing. There's no login, no password, and no dashboard to learn. Updates come straight to me and are reflected within 24 hours.
If your shop has a QR code on display, scanning it opens that same form pre-filled with your shop already selected.
If rag collection has been letting you down — paying little, collected unreliably, or some of it never even making it to rag and going straight in the bin — I buy good, sellable overflow stock directly. It's a straightforward sale, for more than rag typically pays, with pickup you can rely on.
What happens to it afterwards is the part I care about most: rather than disappearing into the rag trade, where a lot of what's exported ends up sold abroad rather than staying useful here, I sell it on at low cost to local market traders, schools and community groups. Read the full story →
Whatever it's about — the directory, the surplus stock offer, or something else entirely — email me directly and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
