There are different types of collection
Charities that collect the items and sell them in their shops
In this instance all the money from the sale of your donated items will go directly to the charity.Commercial organisations that collect items on behalf of a charity
Some charities enter into partnerships with commercial organisations that collect on their behalf. The charity receives a proportion of the profit from the sale of your donations. The sack must state which commercial organisation is doing the collection and roughly how much will be going to the charity – you can then consider if you are happy with this arrangement. If it doesn’t state this, then we would urge you not to use the sack.Commercial organisations not working with any charity
Some organisations not working with a charity might lead you to believe they are helping people in developing countries when they are selling the clothing for their own profit. These are bogus collections and should not be used: and ideally should be reported to your local authority.
